Ann Arbor, Michigan - Maddie Zimmer and Ilse Tromp each scored two goals and had an assist in the first half, helping Northwestern beat Saint Joseph's 5-0 in the championship game of the NCAA Division I women's field hockey tournament at Phyllis Ocker Field on Sunday.
It was the second championship for the second-seeded Wildcats, who have played for the title in four straight seasons. Northwestern beat Liberty 2-0 in 2021 before losing to North Carolina the past two seasons.
The No. 4 seed Saint Joseph's was in uncharted waters with its first trip to the final. The Hawks eliminated top-seeded North Carolina in the semifinals to advance. The Tar Heels have won the championship in half of their 22 trips to the final.
Northwestern took the lead when Zimmer, assisted by Tromp, scored just 6:25 into the first quarter. Zimmer assisted on Olivia Bent-Cole's eighth goal of the season, putting Northwestern up 2-0. Then, Tromp found the net with 25 seconds left, assisted by Lauren Hunter and Ashley Sessa, for a 3-0 lead.
Hunter and Sessa assisted again on Zimmer's 10th goal of the season, and Hunter and Regan Cornelius assisted on Tromp's 11th goal of the season just over two minutes later, giving Northwestern a 5-0 halftime lead that was never threatened again.
Annabel Skubisz finished with her school-record 14th shutout of the season for Northwestern. Zimmer and Tromp are the second duo to score multiple goals for their school in a championship match. Zimmer was named the tournament MVP.
This was the second championship for Wildcats coach Tracey Fuchs.
Northwestern joins North Carolina and Old Dominion as the only schools to reach the championship match in four straight seasons. Six schools have won multiple titles.
