The Wildcats held Butler to just two chances in the first half, with Clem only having to make one easy save. Madi Kennel came close to avoiding all the late drama in the second half when she received a pass from Regan Steigleder just outside the box and clanged her shot off the crossbar. The ball then ricocheted off the goalkeeper and hit the post before falling wide. Northwestern is now 4-0-7 in its last 11 overtime games dating back to 2014.
