BOSTON — Last week the Northeastern Huskies were dubbed the “Heart Attack Huskies” after holding on for a three-point win over NC A&T.

Right when you thought they’d tie it up, the Huskies just couldn’t…
If back-to-back losses to Union and Sacred Heart were disheartening, Northeastern’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Bentley might just be rock bottom.

It hasn’t been the smoothest ride through nonconference play, but Northeastern (4-7) is still afloat after a brutal stretch in which they only conjured up one double-digit win — a 66-46 victory over Georgia State.

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — You could practically hear the sigh of relief from Northeastern’s bench as Sam Colangelo’s wicked wrister sailed into the back of the net. Sunday followed an all-too-familiar script for the Huskies, who blew a three-goal lead in the third period thanks to more sloppy play and poor discipline. But Colangelo saved…
Coming off a surprising and dominating win against Georgia State Dec. 2, Northeastern looked to continue rolling against Holy Cross in a matchup the Huskies were heavily favored to win.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The cavernous Total Mortgage Arena was eerily silent, just as it had been all night long. With their heads hung low, the deflated Huskies skated slowly from the center-ice handshake line back to the locker room, where a long, ruminating three-hour bus ride back to Boston soon awaited them. Perhaps it was…

BOSTON — On Friday night, the top two teams in Hockey East took the ice in Matthews Arena in a highly contested battle that left Northeastern victorious over Vermont with a final score of 3-1.

A 10-year-old Mia Langlois took to the ice at Rodman Arena in Foxborough, Massachusetts for yet another hockey tournament.

For the Huskies,…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Who had that one on their Thanksgiving bingo card?

Despite the 11th-hour…

Story by Mike Puzzanghera and Peyton Doyle ORONO, Maine — Down two with under 30 seconds to go, the Northeastern Huskies got two good looks on the offensive end — one that would’ve tied, one that would’ve put them ahead, and both from star point guard Derin Erdogan. Neither one dropped, and the Huskies lost…

Thanks to…

BOSTON — Thrilling. Impressive. Dramatic. Insanity. Even those four words can’t truly describe the third period on Friday between the Northeastern Huskies and Boston College Eagles. And that doesn’t cover overtime and the shootout. In the record books it will go down as a 4-4 draw between these bitter rivals, the second tie in as…
Northeastern and Boston College’s women’s hockey teams last met Feb. 1. Some may recognize that day at last year’s Beanpot semifinals, where the Eagles pulled a stunning upset, beating the Huskies 3-1 to advance to the finals.

Speaking at the CAA Media Day in October, Hampton head coach Edward Joyner summed up how he’s approaching this season as the leader of a program in its third league in five years: “In essence, we’re playing 31 nonconference games again.” The same could be said for NC A&T, changing conferences for the third time…
Story by Peyton Doyle and Mike Puzzanghera Last season, the Blue Hens captured the CAA Championship but like many of their conference opponents are facing extreme roster turnover coming into this year. Their opponent in last year’s title game, the Dragons, may be best poised to make a return to the finals as they bring…
DURHAM, N.H. — It feels strange that Devon Levi has only played about one full season’s worth of games in net for Northeastern. The Huskies’ stalwart goaltender missed his freshman season with an injury, missed time during his Richter Award campaign last year due to the Olympics, and has started nine games for the Huskies…
BOSTON — If last Saturday’s game at Matthews was a stalemate, this one was a rout as Northeastern completed the weekend sweep of New Hampshire with a final score of 8-2. From the jump Northeastern rushed the net, with the second line in particular trying to stuff in the puck from a scramble in the…
Story by Josh Chaskes and Peyton Doyle BROOKLINE — The CAA women’s soccer championship game went beyond anyone’s imagination, providing drama that would wow any film fanatic.

BOSTON — Northeastern hosted New Hampshire in Matthews Arena November 4th, coasting to a 6-2 victory and notching major milestones in the belts of two Huskies.

Durham, N.H. — Northeastern dominated their Friday night matchup against New Hampshire, tallying five goals while shutting out UNH.

Two goals were scored on four power play opportunities, a vast contrast…
When the Northeastern women’s basketball team takes the floor for the first time in the new season, the squad will hardly look like the one from the Huskies’ season-ending loss to Towson in the CAA tournament. Ahead of her second season with the Huskies, head coach Bridgette Mitchell navigated an offseason defined by new transfer…
Last season could not have gone much worse for the Huskies. Just one year removed from a CAA regular season title, Bill Coen scored big in the transfer portal ahead of the 2021-22 year, bringing in tall sharpshooter Nikola Djogo from Notre Dame, dynamic guard Tyreek Scott-Grayson from Alabama at Birmington, all-around wing Joe…
BOSTON -– Northeastern ended the second leg of a home-and-home series against Providence with a tie on Saturday night, but picked up the extra Hockey East point with a shootout win. The physicality and chippiness of Friday night’s tilt carried over to the second game, with a total of 13 penalties whistled on Saturday. The…
ORONO, Maine — Friday night’s Northeastern men’s hockey performance was a disappointment. A 2-2 tie with Maine, the team picked to finish last in the Hockey East preseason poll, stretched Northeastern’s winless streak to four games. The Huskies wanted, and frankly needed, a response. So respond they did. The Huskies picked up a 4-1 win…
ORONO, Maine — Remember just 28 days ago, when Northeastern opened its season against Long Island with a No. 7 ranking, Frozen Four buzz, and the billing as preseason league favorites? Yeah, it’s been a long four weeks. Northeastern tied Maine 2-2 on Friday, with the Black Bears earning the extra league standings point via…
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Many have said there’s no love lost between the Northeastern Huskies and Providence Friars, a fact evident in their Friday night tilt at Schneider Arena.

While many of his mid-major counterparts looked to capitalize on their 2022 success by transferring up this offseason, redshirt senior Chris Doherty elected to stay with Northeastern men’s basketball team after finishing last season as the squad’s second-leading scorer, in addition to leading the team in rebounds, blocks, and field goal percentage. After his monster…
This offseason, Northeastern’s two head basketball coaches were faced with an all-too-familiar challenge for modern college basketball programs: heavy roster turnover. Women’s head coach Bridgette Mitchell was looking to replace eight players from last season’s squad, while men’s head coach Bill Coen lost seven. But despite a similar dilemma, each took very different approaches to…
BOSTON — Playing without star goaltender Devon Levi, the Northeastern men’s hockey team lost a tightly-checked, 3-2 game to the No. 19 UMass Lowell River Hawks Saturday night at Matthews Arena, running their winless streak to three games. The Huskies turned to freshman Grant Riley for his first collegiate start with Levi out due to…
ORONO, Maine — For a team as consistently successful and high-achieving as the Northeastern women’s hockey team, poor performances are exceedingly rare.

Story by Peyton Doyle and Josh Chaskes BROOKLINE — Soccer is a game of two halves, and sometimes those two halves can feel radically different.

Story by Daisy Roberts and Jack Sinclair ORONO, Maine — While lying at the most extreme north end of the Hockey East map, Maine has found their women’s hockey team in the southern end of the standings for several years running. Northeastern has long stood in the way of the Black Bears success, holding an…
BOSTON — It was a familiar battle of conference rivals on Tuesday night, but with a twist: the game was technically a non conference meeting between Northeastern and Boston College, as they vied for an additional victory on Homecoming Night at Matthews Arena. The Huskies officially tied Boston College 3-3 in the NCAA record books,…
BROOKLINE — The two opponents in Tuesday night’s rivalry battle at Parsons Field entered the match on complete opposite trajectories. Northeastern’s season has been slipping away in recent weeks, as the Huskies entered the match at Parsons Field carrying a five-game losing streak. Meanwhile, the Terriers had won two in a row, outscoring their opponents…
BOSTON — The top-15 matchup between Northeastern and Providence lived up to its billing on Saturday, as the Friars handed the Huskies a hard-fought 2-1 loss.

It’s been a two-decade journey for Chi-Yin Tse, climbing his way from college rollerblading and club coaching to working in professional hockey.

By Mike Puzzanghera and Daisy Roberts BOSTON — Was there ever any doubt?

BROOKLINE — While the Huskies did not get the exact result they wanted Thursday night in their 2-2 draw against Drexel, junior midfielder Jessie Hunt came away with a memorable individual accomplishment.

BOSTON — The last time Vermont faced Northeastern, the Huskies fell in a stunning 1-0 upset. This time around, the story started off the same, but the Huskies offense came alive, resulting in a 5-2 victory. The Huskies’ sluggish start was reminiscent of their last meeting with Vermont. UVM struck first, scoring 1:14 into the…
Northeastern faced both a familiar and unfamiliar opponent on Friday in its first Hockey East matchup of the season: Connecticut. A rematch of last year’s Hockey East championship, this game posed to be a competitive one, with both teams looking to secure their first conference victory of the season. Ultimately, Northeastern took home the win,…
Vivian Akyirem’s Northeastern career has started like a firecracker. The freshman forward has notched six goals in her first 12 career games, something that hasn’t been done by a Huskies’ women’s soccer player in over a decade. The last time a freshman even had six goals in a season was 2014. Akyirem currently leads the…
BOSTON — Vinny Borgesi is a self-described “pass-first guy.” But as a 2-on-1 rush developed with Borgesi and teammate Justin Hyrckowian just one minute into overtime, Borgesi seized his opportunity to score his first collegiate goal and secure a 3-2 win over Long Island in a scintillating season opener. “I really don’t shoot much, but…

From the jump, Northeastern started…

Hockey East lost a massive amount of talent in the offseason, leaving much of the conference with question marks headed into the upcoming year.

It was summer move-in day at Northeastern, and Liam Walsh was already lost. Walsh, the Huskies’ prized transfer addition from Hockey East rival Merrimack, was driving aimlessly around Northeastern’s campus, struggling to locate his new dorm. He couldn’t even figure out where to pick up his student ID badge. “It was bad,” Walsh says now…
When Jack Williams committed to Northeastern in 2017, Zach-Aston Reese had just finished his senior season tied for the NCAA lead in scoring. At first glance, that’s the only real connection between the two. But if a coach compares an incoming freshman, particularly an undrafted one like Williams, to one of the team’s former greats,…
The Huskies gave us a taste of what the upcoming season would be like in their preseason exhibition game against the PHF’s Boston Pride.

It’s a new year, new look, and new expectations for the Northeastern women’s hockey team. The 2021-22 Huskies had it all — a 31-5-2 record, three top-10 Patty Kazmaier finalists, and a fifth-straight Hockey East title, before falling in a crushing double-overtime loss in the Frozen Four semifinals. Now they look to extend their half-decade…
There’s a palpable buzz around the Northeastern men’s hockey program right now.

By Peyton Doyle No sports season ever goes as planned. Even when a team wins a championship the road there never unfurls perfectly. A tanking team could have their vision go sideways by some untimely wins. Last season, the CAA was split into two divisions, North and South, and Northeastern was voted the favorite to…
Story by Daisy Roberts After losing to the Hofstra Pride in the morning game Saturday before bouncing back in the loser’s bracket, the Northeastern Huskies looked to remedy that loss with a finals win.

Story by Daisy Roberts The Northeastern Huskies faced a daunting opponent in the second round of the CAA Baseball Tournament as they took on the top-seeded College of Charleston Cougars. CofC was by far the best hitting team in the conference in the regular season, but Northeastern’s forte all year has been its pitching staff,…
Story by Peyton Doyle There’s a common saying around the conference: “Never bet on the CAA.” The main reason for that is the parity in the league across all sports and the volatility of the conference tournaments. The 2022 baseball tournament has been no different so far. The No. 5 Northeastern Huskies (29-27-1, 10-14 CAA)…
Wednesday marks the first day of the 2022 CAA Baseball Championship Tournament in Elon, North Carolina.

Northeastern boasted a power-hitting lineup with the conference’s player of the year, Jared Dupere, while UNCW had dominant pitching, spearheaded by ace and conference pitcher…
By Emma Sullivan One of the most overused clichés in modern English is arguably “it is hard to put into words.” It is also, however, the most apt description for trying to capture what the seniors from the Northeastern women’s hockey team have accomplished during their time with the program. Over the last half a…
By Peyton Doyle Brookline, Massachusetts – They say that April showers bring May flowers, but thus far all they have brought for the Northeastern baseball team is doubleheaders and rain delay antics. Luckily for the Huskies, the rain quenched the Phoenix’s flames as Northeastern topped Elon 2-1 in their first conference series win of the…
WORCESTER — Jordan Harris soaked in his final seconds on the ice. One last hug with fellow senior Julian Kislin. One last salute to the fans. And one last look around at the DCU Center, where he’d played his heart out for the final time in a Northeastern uniform. Harris, and each of Northeastern’s five…
By Matty Wasserman After Northeastern’s Hockey East tournament semifinal loss to UConn last Friday, all the Huskies could do was hope.

By Mike Puzzanghera Back in October, Northeastern lost to UConn, 5-3, at home.

By Mike Puzzanghera Despite winning the regular season Hockey East title for the first time in program history, nothing is secure for Northeastern.

With plenty of contenders and star players strewn throughout the bracket, here’s a look at each team competing for an NCAA Tournament bid this weekend. Drexel The top…
Jason Strong’s first day on a collegiate basketball court was Nov. 11, 2017.

The 18-year-old from Coconut Creek, Florida played 14 minutes…
Story by Khalin Kapoor The Northeastern Huskies (6-5-1) tied the UMass Minutemen (1-2-1) on Tuesday afternoon at Parsons field, spoiling the Huskies home opener. This game ended prematurely due to a lack of lighting, with the umpires deeming playing conditions unsafe once the sun set. The game would have gone on to extra innings in…
By Matty Wasserman One-hundred seven years before Devon Levi ever set foot in Matthews Arena, a young Princeton forward named Hobey Baker delivered one of the most legendary performances in the barn’s history.

By Peyton Doyle I once had a Spanish teacher tell me that “poetry is what is lost in translation.” He believed that the beauty of words and ideas could not be truly translated across different languages. If there is one thing that I have learned this past season covering the Northeastern women’s basketball team, it…

By Khalin Kapoor The 2021 season of Northeastern baseball was one of the most exciting in a long time. This is a team that scored 26 runs in one game, that had a 20-game win streak, and that won their first CAA Championship off of a walk-off home run. They constantly defied expectations in the…
Story by Justin Diament On Nov. 27, 2019, the defending national champion Virginia Cavaliers held Maine Black Bears men’s basketball team to 26 points.

Story by Emma Sullivan Photos by Kayla Shiao and Sarah Olender BOSTON — For two periods it seemed like anyone’s game.

By Matty Wasserman ANDOVER, MA – Northeastern isn’t used to losing. The Huskies have lost just 10 games in the past three seasons combined.

By Mike Puzzanghera Stopping Delaware’s Jasmine Dickey has proven to be a near impossible task for all challengers this season.
