EVANSTON, Ill. — The fourteenth ranked University of Iowa field hockey team (5-4, 0-1) fell to Northwestern Friday afternoon at Lakeside Field, 4-3.

Northwestern (9-2, 1-0) jumped out to an early lead as freshman Dominique Masters scored off a corner at the 5:21 minute mark to put the Wildcats up 1-0. Ten minutes later is was Masters again who scored off a corner to give the Wildcats a two-goal lead.

The Hawkeyes opened up the scoring in the second half as Natalie Cafone scored off an assist from Dani Hemeon. Iowa didn’t stop there as roughly ten minutes later the Hawkeyes scored back to back goals in under a minute to take the lead. Dani Hemeon first tied the game scoring off a corner at the 54:38 minute mark. Then just 57 seconds later, Cafone scored her second goal of the game to give the Hawkeyes the lead. Cafone’s second goal marked her ninth goal of the season.
