Northwestern field hockey capped off a strong 2021 campaign in historic fashion, winning the NCAA championship in a 2-0 shutout of the Liberty Flames. After an early exit in the Big Ten tournament, the Wildcats rose to the occasion in the NCAA tournament by allowing just one goal across wins over North Carolina, Harvard and Liberty.
