[NU Sports] Northwestern Final Four history

[Roy S. Lamberton]

The quote from Murphy is:

The last time Northwestern won a national championship was in 1941, when the
men's fencing team captured the NCAA crown.

In 1985 the Field Hockey team won the 3rd place game in the NCAA tourney
In 1994 the Field Hockey team lost the semifinal game.

I'd guess that both teams qualify as final 4 appearances.

It seems that our final four showings are about 10 years apart.
