EVANSTON, Ill. – After conceding early, Northwestern responded to salvage a 1-1 draw with Harvard on Sunday afternoon at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium.

How it Happened
Harvard broke the deadlock early on a spectacular finish by Josefine Hasbo in the game's fifth minute, assisted by Lauren Muniz. Northwestern started to build toward the end of the second half, earning a penalty kick, but failing to convert before the break.
The Wildcats came out of the intermission strong, creating several dangerous chances before finally breaking through in the game's 78th minute. Nicole Doucette played a ball through to Kelsey Kwon, who played through to Kennedy Roesch. Roesch beat the Crimson defender to the ball and chipped it over the charging keeper to level the game at one apiece.
