SCOUTING NORTHERN MICHIGAN
The Wildcats enter the weekend currently at the top of the table in the GLIAC. They hold a 10-3-2 overall record and a 8-2-1 record in conference play. Their two GLIAC losses came at the hands of Davenport on the road and then No. 1 Grand Valley State on NMU Soccer Field. The Wildcat's matchup with the Rangers is their lone game of the weekend.
 
Northern Michigan has a high powered offense having scored 40 goals on the year so far. That mark is good enough for the most in the GLIAC and 11^th most in the nation. Their 40 goals on the season averages out to 2.67 per game. Leading the way for the Wildcats is Justina L'Esperance whose team leading 10 goals is the most in the GLIAC. She's also notched seven assists to total 27 points on the year, leading the Wildcats in both categories as well.
 
The Wildcats defense is directed by goalkeeper Sally Patton. Patton has started in 13 of the Wildcats 15 games played. She has racked up over 1,000 minutes between the posts for NMU making 26 saves along the way. Patton has been a brick wall for the Wildcats with an impressive .839 save percentage.
