Northwestern had its way for much of Monday evening’s home clash with Washington, out-shooting its guests 19-8 and controlling 61% of the possession. The Wildcats (5-4-1, 1-3-0 Big Ten) were left regretting missed opportunities as they dropped their third of four Big Ten contests. “I’m proud of the guys in terms of taking the game to Washington, but that’s an expectation for us,” Payne said. As the game neared the 90th minute, the ’Cats continued to press while Washington fell back into a low defensive block. 23 Maryland— Men’s Soccer: Nine-man Northwestern squeaks past Rutgers in 2-1 win— Men’s Soccer: Northwestern comes back from two-goal deficit to defeat UC Riverside 3-2
