Buffs just need to shake this one off (against a pretty solid looking Wildcat squad) and finish off non-conference strong against (0-7) Villanova next Sunday at Prentup.

The "dissecting" (generally short) passes in the offensive third that get players open for good shots seemed to be JUST off for the Buffs all match, and as a result there was one good CU scoring chance I can think of all match (a Brie Hooks open shot late in regulation from ~15-20 yards that sailed quite a bit high late). To give the opposition their due, some of those offensive misses looked to be caused by solid marking by Northwestern's young defenders.
