Coach Tim Lenahan said sophomore midfielder Carl Pett is the kind of player that is all over the field. Defending on the back line one minute, going to the left side the next and then to the right the next.
Lenahan said this makes Pett difficult to scout, because Pett doesn’t even know what he’s going to do in the course of a game.
Pett made one of those “sneaky” plays Sunday against Ohio State.
He made a tackle in the defensive side of the field to give No. 6 Northwestern a counter attack chance in the 55th minute.
The attack found midfielder David Roth who crossed it to the far post. Pett was already there and he headed the ball in the net for a 2-0 lead.
From there, the Wildcats opened the flood gates.
Pett scored again six minutes later and freshman forward Piero Bellizzi scored his second goal of the game two minutes later
