Penn-Northwestern Series
The Quakers are battling the Wildcats for the 20th time in program history on Sunday, as Northwestern holds a 15-4 lead in the all-time series. Penn has won two of the last four meetings with the last coming in 2017 in Illinois, 10-7. The last two times the teams squared off in Philadelphia, the games went to overtime.

Last Time We Met
The last matchup was on March 31, 2019, in Evanston with Northwestern taking the 17-13 decision. A matchup between the No. 6 Quakers at No. 5 Northwestern had Penn mount a second half rally, but the Wildcats 13-7 lead through the first half was enough to hold off the visiting squad. Zoe Belodeau led the scoring with four goals, while Taylyn Stadler had three goals all in the first half. Gabby Rosenzweig had a six-point game, sending out four assists to go with two goals.
