Poor offensive execution but I wouldn't say overmatched. Stick check changes game from 10-9 to 11-8 w 10 to play. That makes it more like a 14-11 game. And Northwestern dominated time of possession. They need to play better on offense, but outmatched is a bit of an overstatement.


Didn’t see the game so curious how the stick check against NU gave SB a goal (from 10 to 11)? And who’s to say she would have scored without it being illegal? Tough to argue that getting caught cheating cost them.


Draw controls NU 18-9. So it would stand to reason that if goal stands, NU has a 66.666% chance of getting possession. So at the very least, SB does not score 15 seconds later and there is a decent chance score is 10-10 by end of sequence. So yeah, it was a two goal swing.


Here is a bit more math for you... NU won 66.66% of the draw controls and SU scored 60% of the goals. I will take the later stat, you can have your draw math. How many additional draws and goals would NU have lost with a legal draw stick? By the way, you also lost on your home field.
