COLUMBUS, Ohio - Big Ten Tournament officials announced its all-tournament team for field hockey following Michigan State's 3-0 win over Michigan in the championship game. Northwestern senior defender Lindsey Millard (St. Louis, Mo./Mary Institute CD) was among those selected.

One of NU's defensive leaders this season, Millard started every game at her backfield position but managed to get forward enough to find the back of the net four times, good for second on the team. Among those four goals are three game-winners (New Hampshire, SW Missouri State and Providence). Millard also recorded three assists as part of NU's offensive penalty corner team.

Named Second-team All-Big Ten a week earlier, Millard was the only Wildcat to receive the distinction.
