November 12, 1988 — Northwestern’s field hockey team advances to the state semifinals by posting a 2-0 victory over previously undefeated Mifflinburg at Cedar Crest High in Lebanon. The Tigers, coached by Cathy McCullough, open the game’s scoring at the 8:20 mark of the first half when Kelly Trexler beats goalie Danielle Ward. The winners extend their lead early in the second half off a penalty corner with Tracy Trapp tallying just 1:20 after the break. Northwestern’s defense allows no shots on goal, giving its netminder Shannon Arehart her fifth consecutive shutout.
