Northwestern is looking for a repeat of a strong 2018 season, and this year’s squad now has its team captains in place.

Repeating as B1G West champions will take a strong effort, but Pat Fitzgerald is used to his team being underdogs. Still, the backbone of his Northwestern teams is elite conditioning, hard work, discipline, and strong leadership.

With these four captains in place, you can count on the Wildcats maintaining the same high standard of discipline and leadership. The group has distinguished themselves on the field in various ways, and they are now taking on another leadership role.
