Northwestern Women’s Soccer prepares for the 2026 season with a roster change as the team faces offseason losses and gains. The Wildcats welcome six new recruits to replace the six players who graduated, including key departures Brooke Miller and Caterina Regazzoni. Goalkeeper Nyamma Nelson stands out after an impressive freshman season, while defenders like Audrey Alberts and first-year recruit Gwen Zimmerman are poised to fill crucial roles. The team looks to build on its recent success, having made strides in recruiting, particularly with players who bring international experience. Northwestern faces Notre Dame in its preseason opener within a week, marking a critical test for the new lineup.
