The Northwestern Field Hockey Notebook: A Well-Oiled Machine
Northwestern (10-0, 1-0 B1G) has outscored its last three opponents 15-0. A jarring statistic that explains why its a rare breed: one of three undefeated squads that remain in NCAA Division I field hockey, with a 2.67 scoring margin, the best in the Big Ten Conference. This year’s team is playing on a level that […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 4
1. Ohio State (AP No. 5, Coaches No. 6) 3-1 | 1-0 B1G Last Week’s Ranking: 2 Movement: +1 While yes, Indiana is undefeated, Ohio State jumps back up to No. 1 in our rankings after its dominant 42-19 win over Illinois. Jeremiah Smith tied the Buckeyes’ single-game touchdown record with four on the day, […]
Three keys for Northwestern football vs. Penn State
Imagine this. The bright lights of the New Ryan Field turn on for the first time. Music plays with a deep bass, echoing and vibrating throughout the stadium. Yet, that isn’t the loudest sound that can be heard. No, it’s the screams and shouts of the crazed Wildcat fans that serve as the pulsing heart […]
Men’s golf: Kuan Zhou’s final-round 66 fuels Northwestern’s best finish of the season
Northwestern men’s golf recorded its best performance of the season in the Windon Memorial Classic at its home, Onwentsia Club, on Monday and Tuesday. The Wildcats were one of 16 teams in the event and finished fourth. Kansas took home the team championship with a combined score of 4-under, while UC Davis’ Zhenxian Zhang, fueled […]
Set Point #6: A California Wake Up Call
Through the first 11 games of the season, I’ve stayed somewhat positive about this Northwestern team. Despite plenty of lackluster play, this column has focused on flashes of Wildcat brilliance rather than the surrounding waves of inexplicable errors. However, the half-filled cup might have just turned empty as Northwestern’s first two Big Ten games were […]
A Tale of Two Halves— Charlie’s Film Room Week 4
I was at this game. The biggest takeaway is that Indiana has a lot to clean up, but still is a very good team. It also means that Northwestern is better than I expected. To go into Bloomington on the road with injuries to important pieces and have the second half that the Wildcats did […]
The Low Block, Week 6: They Can Do It
“One of our main pillars is unity, and there’s nothing that exemplifies that more than what we just did.” – Andrew Millar postgame. Not all wins are cut from the same cloth. Some wins inspire extra confidence for the rest of the season, others are run of the mill and do little to move the […]
Pitch Perfect, Week 7: How to Best the Buckeyes
Pitch Perfect is a day late this week due to my writing a recap for the Indiana game and becoming so invested in it that I neglected this column. If you didn’t read the recap, one person to keep an eye on is Ava Goodin, who went down against Indiana, walked off unassisted, but did […]
Women’s Soccer Recap: Northwestern bests Indiana 2-0
In somewhat of an alternate timeline, Northwestern defeated Indiana in a game of the other football on Sunday. The Wildcats implicated, of course, were on the Northwestern Women’s Soccer team, which defeated the Hoosiers 2-0 at home thanks to a brace by first-year Camryn Freeman. Northwestern and Indiana were even on shots at 11, but […]
Three takeaways from Northwestern’s heart-wrenching loss in Bloomington
The Wildcats almost did it. Entering Indiana University Memorial Stadium as 21-point underdogs, almost nobody was picking the ‘Cats to stun the reigning national champions in their Big Ten home opener. And after a measly first half — where Northwestern’s highly-touted running back room totaled negative yards — anybody that had been in NU’s corner […]
Men’s and Women’s Soccer: Wildcats sweep weekend matches with a pair of 1-0 shutouts
Two nights, two identical scorelines, two wins. Northwestern’s men’s and women’s soccer both won with strong defense at Martin Stadium on consecutive nights, taking two wins by the same score. The women beat the visiting Oregon Ducks 1-0 on Thursday, while the men held off Michigan 1-0 on Friday, despite playing nearly an hour a […]
Cross Country: Northwestern gets third place at Lakeshore Invitational.
The No. 12 Northwestern cross country team traveled to Loyola Chicago on Friday for the Lakefront Invitational. The field included 17 teams from across the country, including Virginia and Minnesota, which entered the race ranked 20th and 24th, respectively. The ’Cats took home third place, with three runners inside the top 24 and all five […]
Despite a frustrating result, Northwestern’s upset bid at Indiana sets new expectations
From the first drive, Northwestern football established a strangely resilient mood on Friday night. The Wildcats started their road bout against Indiana in survival mode, allowing the Hoosiers to reach the one-yard line before getting a fourth-down stop. On the next play, Aidan Chiles dropped a routine snap and got sacked for a safety. From […]
Stock up, stock down for Northwestern’s 29-23 loss against Indiana
Although Northwestern held No. 5 Indiana to just two points through the first quarter, the Wildcats struggled to keep the Hoosiers from catching fire on offense and couldn’t get started soon enough to overtake IU in a 29-23 loss. Aidan Chiles finished with 293 passing yards and three all-purpose touchdowns but couldn’t offset the 472 […]
Rapid Reaction: Northwestern scares No. 5 Indiana, falls 29-23
It took the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) until the game’s final moments on Friday to take down the 21-point underdog Northwestern Wildcats (2-1, 0-1 Big Ten), but the ‘Cats fell just short of an upset in the end, suffering a 29-23 defeat. Aidan Chiles was stellar through the air for the […]

ROUNDTABLE: Northwestern at No. 5 Indiana predictions
The Wildcats (2-0, 0-0 Big Ten) take to the road for the first time this season in Week 4 to battle the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) on national television. Here’s an inside look at the thoughts of Inside NU staff and execs (no pun intended) for tonight’s matchup. Charlie Jacobs […]
Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 3
Week 3 was relatively quiet for the Big Ten, as the conference’s top teams rested before conference play by facing weaker FCS and Group of Six opponents. However, some teams, like Northwestern in its 41-7 bashing of Colorado, or UCLA in its back-and-forth win over Purdue, made statement wins that put them on the radar. […]
Set Point #5: Onto the Big Ten
And just like that, Northwestern’s non-conference portion of the season is over. There were ups, and there were certainly downs, but the ‘Cats flashed the potential of a dangerous team that can hang with the Big Ten higher-ups. With the first conference game in just a couple of hours, here’s a reflection on the first […]
Sounds Like a Library? — Charlie’s Film Room Week 3
Colorado entered the “****** library” that was Martin Stadium, but left with just seven points. Northwestern put up 41 points and now is 2-0 for the first time ever under David Braun. Not too much fluff this week, just going to dive straight into the good stuff: The numbers Aidan Chiles accounted for five touchdowns: […]
Northwestern’s high-flying start may come crashing down in Bloomington
Northwestern is coming off an incredible high after its final game at Martin Stadium, beating Colorado 41-7. Multiple players had masterful performances, including redshirt senior running back Joseph Himon II’s three-touchdown performance, as well as senior quarterback Aidan Chiles scoring five in total, which netted him Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week. Northwestern’s defense […]
Volleyball: NU sweeps Ball State Tournament to end non-conference play
Winners of five of their last six. The Wildcats (7-4) have started to heat up at the perfect time. To finish its non-conference slate, Northwestern volleyball took to Worthen Arena to take on the hosting Ball State Cardinals (9-2) and the visiting IU Indy Jaguars (5-8) in a round-robin last week. NU stayed in control […]
The Low Block, Week Five: Calm Before the Storm
It was always going to be hard to follow up last Friday’s performance against Maryland, and Northwestern Men’s Soccer (4-3-1, 1-1 B1G) split its two games after the historic upset. Considering one of those games was an away trip to a ranked Michigan State Spartans team, I still think it was a good week. This […]
Golf: Chen’s Career-Low 65 and Knai’s Sunday Surge Lead Northwestern Through Mixed Weekend
Northwestern golf wrapped up two tournaments this weekend, with men’s golf traveling to Olympia Fields, Ill., for the Fighting Illini Invitational and women’s golf heading east to Franklin, Tenn., for the Mason Rudolph Championship. The men finished 12th of 15 teams, steadily improving throughout the weekend before senior Jeremy Chen topped it off with a […]

Jeremiah Profit, a four-star guard from Temecula, California ranked No. 61 in the Class of 2027 by 247 Sports, announced his commitment to Northwestern on Tuesday on X, making him the highest-ranked commit in Northwestern Men’s Basketball history.
