Northwestern is not all that people say they are. They have probably the best front 2/3, depending on whether alex martinez is playing forward or midfielder. But, the rest of their team is average at best. The best way to beat Northwestern is play them the way they play you. Put your best 4 or 5 guys up front and attack them. If Enzo, Ryan, and Alex aren't getting the ball then it doesn't matter how good they are. If you score 6 goals and they score 5, you still win and then how effective were their best players. So in the end the only way to beat Northwestern is to throw as many people forward and force them to defend instead of allowing them to walk down your throat with their best 4 players.
