Football Five games into the season, Northwestern is basically where everyone thought they’d be. Yet fans are panicking. It’s a classic case of recency bias. After three weeks without a win — a bye, then losses to two of the top seven teams in the country — it feels like the roof is caving ...

Women’s Soccer For the most part, Northwestern and Illinois’ rivalry is more of a story than a real thing. But nobody told the Fighting Illini that. Illinois (5-10-0, 2-5-0 Big Ten) scored on Kara Marbury’s header in the 69th minute to beat the Wildcats (6-6-2, 3-3-1) on Saturday night...

Men’s Soccer Soccer, coach Tim Lenahan said, is a lot like calculus. The coach –– in his 17th year at the helm of the Northwestern program –– jokes with his team that in calculus, “you have to know the next chapter’s based on the previous chapter,” and that the same applies to socc...

Football Northwestern’s offense has been here before. In an echo of the September struggles of 2016, when the unit hit its nadir in a 9-7 loss to FCS program Illinois State, the Wildcats’ scoring attack floundered in a 31-7 homecoming loss to No. 4 Penn State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) on Saturday...

Football It would have taken a perfect storm for Northwestern to pull an upset of No. 4 Penn State in Evanston. The visitors boasted an explosive offense and a fearsome defense and had steamrolled most of their opposition to date. To lose to the Nittany Lions (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) is no shame. It was...
