After last week’s disappointing loss against the Nittany Lions, Northwestern (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) took care of business in its homecoming match against Howard (2-3, 0-0 MEAC). Though the Bisons fought their way onto the scoreboard in the second half, the Wildcats hung on for a 23-20 victory. The ’Cats now get a breather with an upcoming bye week before facing the Nebraska Cornhuskers in an away game Oct. 21.
