class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\">Northwestern celebrates its sixth and final goal of the night. The goal from senior Camden Buescher gives him a hat-trick for the evening, with an additional assist. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<p>But the Wildcats\u2019 victory added a measure of glory to the close of the season. Camden Buescher led the charge for Northwestern with three goals and an assist in his final regular season game at Martin Stadium. As a team, the Wildcats matched its goal output for the last 11 games with other goals coming from forward Jose Del Valle, defender Jake Roberge and midfielder Matt Moderwell.<\/p>\n<p>Buescher conceded that, after his second goal, he was absolutely thinking about picking up a hat trick on senior night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said it didn\u2019t creep through my mind,\u201d Buescher said. \u201cBut all in all it was a good team win and I\u2019m proud of the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buescher finished the regular season with six goals and two assists, contributing to a team-high 14 points.<\/p>\n<p>But Lenahan said plenty of other teammates played quality soccer over the course of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Mac Mazzola lost the ball all night,\u201d Lenahan said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t usually play in that [holding midfielder] position but you can see his vision and how easy the game is for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lenahan added that in addition to Mazzola, players such as first-year Connor McCabe and junior Sean Lynch made the game easy for the Wildcats and helped dictate what seemed like endless possession.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to dominating the possession battle, Northwestern throttled Concordia-Chicago when it came to other statistical measures. The Wildcats took 26 shots on the evening to the Cougars\u2019 three shots and had nine corners on the night while Concordia-Chicago had one.<\/p>\n<p>After the conclusion of the regular season, Northwestern will turn its attention to the Big Ten tournament, which begins Friday in Westfield, Indiana. As the number eight seed, the Wildcats will face the Ohio State Buckeyes, with the winner moving on to face top-seed Indiana University.<\/p>\n<p>The last time the Wildcats and Buckeyes matched up, the two sides played to a scoreless tie in double overtime. However, the Wildcats had a one-man advantage for most of the game as Ohio State received a red card early in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>For Buescher, he\u2019ll know if it\u2019s going to be a successful match based on one simple metric.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think just like we did tonight coming out and getting an early goal,\u201d Buescher said. \u201cLast time against Ohio State, we had the majority of possession, but we couldn\u2019t put one away, so getting one early will be critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Should the Wildcats win against Ohio State on Saturday, it will be Northwestern\u2019s first two-game winning streak since early September, and the team would move on to face Indiana on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72790 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-01-at-10.31.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-01-at-10.31.45-AM.png 960w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-01-at-10.31.45-AM-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-01-at-10.31.45-AM-768x1022.png 768w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-01-at-10.31.45-AM-769x1024.png 769w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Midfielder Sean Lynch crosses a ball into the box for waiting attackers.(Nichilas Hennion\/Medill)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nicholas Hennion It had been 46 days and 11 games since the Northwestern University men\u2019s soccer team played a winning match.
