Northwestern added two new pieces of hardware to the trophy case, clinching Big Ten titles in lacrosse and softball this weekend. After a location change from Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium to Ryan Fieldhouse due to inclement weather, the No. 1 ranked lacrosse squad played the final 96 seconds of the Big Ten tournament championship game indoors against Penn State Saturday, defeating the Nittany Lions 14-12. In its final regular season series, the No. 23 ranked softball team won two of three games against Indiana, clinching the Big Ten regular season title on Sunday.
