Northeastern Loses CAA Championship

By Milton Posner WASHINGTON — Before the swarming zone defense, before the frantic scrambles for offensive rebounds, before the drives and the kickouts and the one-on-one brilliance, Tuesday night’s game was about vengeance.

IT’S A THREE-PEAT! Women’s Hockey Wins Hockey East Championship

By Christian Skroce NORTH ANDOVER, MA — There was a theme for the 2020 Hockey East Championship, a theme the Northeastern Huskies hammered home forcefully and often: goals, goals, and more goals.

Men’s Basketball Media Day

By Milton Posner The CAA Tournament is a funny thing.
