On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Yellowjackets blitzed Northwestern late, scoring five times in the second half of an eventual 6-0 victory.
Holmquist opened the scoring in the seventh minute, but that’s how the game stayed through the end of the half.
Superior native Niya Wilson reopened the floodgates with her 13th goal of the season in the 49th minute, to be followed by UWS goals in the 54th, 55th, 62nd and 71st, including the latter two legs of Holmquist’s hat trick.
