In the 2010 home opener at Lakeside Field, where it has not lost since 2004, the Northwestern women's lacrosse team used a four-goal burst early in the second half to beat stubborn Georgetown 15-0.

The top-ranked Wildcats (4-0) now have won 55 straight home games and 33 straight overall.

No. 5 Georgetown (3-1) simply wouldn't go away even after the four goals in the first three minutes after intermission gave Northwestern what seemed a comfortable, six-goal margin in a foul-plagued (70 fouls) match.
Senior Katrina Dowd, on the early ``watch list'' for the player of the year trophy, led Northwestern with five goals and three assists, giving her 15 goals in three games after missing the season opener with an injury.

The Wildcats play next Friday against Duquesne in Evanston.

I have no idea how a team that loses 15-0 "wouldn't go away" Was it when they ALMOST scored, ALMOST cutting into the lead?

Anyway, GO CATS!
