Juniors Sam Kroeger and Allison Lowrey, along with sophomore Riley Tiernan, have been named Third Team All-Big Ten for forwards, and junior Emma Misal earns a spot on the Third Team for defenders.”
“We are very happy. Anytime we get recognized we are thankful. To have six players apart of Big Ten honors says alot about what we do,” Head Coach Mike O’Neil said.

“We are really excited about the opportunity to play on Sunday,” O’Neil said about facing Northwestern. “Northwestern is a very good team. You learn a lot from those games. We learned a lot about that match-up because it was a really good game. We learned a lot about oursleves, and we are better since we played them. But so are they. We expect another really good game.”
