Northwestern women beat Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Sam Greene (Santa Monica, Calif./Santa Monica) and Jessica Palo (Ames,
Iowa/Ames) each scored their first goal of the season as the Northwestern women’s soccer team
earned a 2-2, double-overtime draw with Michigan Sunday at the U-M Soccer Complex.

Northwestern (4-6-2) took 17 shots in the match and put eight of them on goal, both season highs
for the ’Cats. After falling behind 2-0, the Wildcats put an 11-shot assault on the Michigan
(5-6-1) net in the second half that resulted in a pair of goals.

Greene scored in the 50th minute with a chip shot over the defense from 15 yards out. Sophomore
Caroline Dagley (San Rafael, Calif./The Branson School) picked up the assist for the first point of
her Northwestern career.

Just over five minutes later the ’Cats tied the game courtesy of Palo. The senior took advantage of
a scrum in the box, sending the ball off a sliding defender and into the back of the net.

After combining for four goals in the first 55 minutes of the match, the teams played a scoreless
55 minutes to close it out. Northwestern put a pair of shots on goal in the first overtime – one
each from Greene and Alicia Herczeg (Agoura Hills, Calif./Agoura) – but Michigan’s Haley Kopmeyer
stopped them both.

NU goalkeeper Carolyn Edwards (Lincolnshire, Ill./Stevenson) made one save in the game.

The ’Cats continue their three-game road trip next weekend with a match at Penn State Friday night
at 6 p.m. CT. Northwestern’s game at Ohio State Sunday will be televised live on the Big Ten
Network at 11 a.m. CT.
