by Justin Littman Northeastern freshman Brandon Kamga has announced via Twitter that he will be transferring from the school.

Kamga will continue his playing career at High Point University.…
By: Ravi Pandya The Huskies entered this series with a 7-4 record (19-16) overall. The William & Mary Tribe had a 6-5 record (17-20 overall). The Huskies appeared to have the advantage in their starting pitching matchups. On Friday, Huskies ace Aaron Civale faced off against Nick Brown. On Saturday, James Mulry faced Bodie Sheehan.…
By: Ravi Pandya Coming off of a thrilling Beanpot win against Harvard, the Huskies looked to keep the momentum going with a weekend series against Elon. Northeastern came into the series with a 14-12 record overall and a 3-2 record against CAA opponents. On Friday, the Huskies won in relatively easy fashion as they beat…
By: Mack Krell Northeastern (14-12) and Harvard (7-15) faced off on Wednesday at 3:30 at Friedman Diamond in the Beanpot Semifinals.

By: Josh Brown and Dan McLoone CINCINNATI- It was a sequence so familiar it would be hard-pressed for Huskies fans to not have it ingrained in their brains by now.

By: Dan McLoone BOSTON- A late power play goal from Zach Aston-Reese proved to be enough for the Northeastern men’s ice hockey team, as the Huskies ended a 28-year Hockey East title drought on Huntington Avenue with a 3-2 win over the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Riverhawks at the TD Garden on Saturday. Northeastern captured its first Hockey East…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It seemed like a case of déjà vu. For the second straight season Northeastern and Boston College had to wait in the TD Garden tunnels for several hours past the slated start time of their game for a barnburner in front of them to end. Last year it was a double-overtime…
By: Dan McLoone The Northeastern men’s hockey team continued their torrid pace on Saturday night, completing a sweep of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. After a 3-1 win in game 1, the Huskies came away with a 6-4 victory to advance to their first semifinals appearance since 2011. One night…
By: Josh Brown SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A big debate in sports is whether a bye-week really helps a team come playoff time. Not only do you face a team coming off a win with momentum on their side, but legs might be rusty having not played in-game action in two weeks. Third seeded Notre…
by P.J. Wright At last, spring is on its way back to Boston! Jackets will turn into sweatshirts and then t-shirts; those colorful lawn chairs will once again occupy Centennial Common; frisbees will go back to infiltrating the airstream, and cups of coffee will convert into that of the iced variety – or at least…
by Matthew MacCormack In a lot of ways, the final game of Northeastern’s season mirrored the 2015-16 campaign as a whole. Exactly one month ago, the Huskies were 12-13. The defending CAA champions were sitting at a paltry 8th in the conference, and the season looked lost. Then Northeastern won five of its next six…
by Matthew MacCormack Bill Coen can add fortuneteller to his already-loaded résumé. “Heading into tournament time, your best players have to play well,” the Northeastern head coach said in Tuesday’s Colonial Athletic Association teleconference. “And I think the secret to it is you have to get production and performance from an unsung hero…Whoever is going…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- The monkey is finally off of their back. For the first time since 2011 Northeastern has won a playoff series, sweeping Maine with a 4-3 overtime victory. On his final shot on net at Matthews Arena, senior captain Kevin Roy, one of the most storied players in program history, found the…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- A familiar aurora permeated the Matthews Arena air on Friday night for game one of the first round of the Hockey East playoffs. Just six days ago Northeastern and Maine were involved in a bloodbath of a game that featured two all-out melees and a 7-1 Huskies drumming of the Black…
by Matthew MacCormack To call Northeastern’s season a “roller coaster ride” would be an understatement. Just a few short weeks ago, the UNCW Seahawks waltzed into Matthews Arena and walked away with an easy 17-point victory. The Huskies were 12-13 with a 4-8 mark in the CAA, losers of seven of their last eight. Oh,…
By: Justin Littman The Northeastern Huskies seem to have found an affinity for winning games late in dramatic fashion. It was no different on Saturday as the Huskies (17-14, 9-9 CAA) showed plenty of heart and fought back from an 11-point second half deficit on the road to escape Drexel with a two-point win. It…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It seemed like it was just one of those games where everything went right for Northeastern. On a day where they honored their seniors, the Huskies ended the regular season in style, getting goals from seven different players in a 7-1 route over Maine. It ends Northeastern’s regular season unbeaten in…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It wasn’t pretty, but with sixth place already locked up for Northeastern in the Hockey East tournament wins are still as crucial as ever, with the Huskies still in the mix for an at-large bid to the big dance. They did just that against Maine Friday night. Behind two goals from…
By: Kyle Williams In hindsight, it probably couldn’t have gone down any other way. A classic CAA rock fight ended with the Huskies victorious on senior night, as they came back to beat College of Charleston by a score of 58-57. It was a fitting end for seniors David Walker, Quincy Ford, Zach Stahl, and…
By: Matthew MacCormack Hempstead, NY- There’s no such thing as a good loss, but there were some encouraging signs from Northeastern’s 65-60 defeat at Hofstra Sunday afternoon. Despite missing starting guard T.J. Williams for the second straight game for academic reasons, the Huskies (15-14, 7-9 CAA) clawed back from a 13-point second-half deficit to bring…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- On November 27th Northeastern was 1-11-2, sitting at the bottom of the league with nothing but disappointment to show for the first half of the season. Since then, the Huskies are 13-2-3 and have clinched the six seed in the Hockey East Tournament. What a turnaround it has been. Behind two…
By: Dan McLoone Harrisonburg, Va.- In their second triple-overtime game of the season, Northeastern outlasted James Madison down the stretch, holding on for a 95-94 win. The win gave the Huskies their first overtime win in CAA play on the season after falling to both Hofstra and College of Charleston in extra time. “We were…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Coming into Saturday night’s game against the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Northeastern, unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games, can credit a portion of that success to the power play. Clicking at a 25.6% pace in their last 12 games entering Saturday (the seventh highest clip in the nation during…
By: Mack Krell After beating Drexel on the road this past Thursday night, Northeastern came home and beat Drexel 70-60 in Matthews Arena on Saturday afternoon. Northeastern (14-13, 6-8 CAA) got off to a hot start in this contest, leading 28-15 midway through the first half. This was thanks to some strong early shooting by…
By: Matthew MacCormack It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Huskies did just enough Thursday night to escape Towson with a 47-44 victory and snap a six-game losing streak. Northeastern (13-13, 5-8 CAA) led by as many as 11 points with 11:40 remaining, but once again stumbled down the stretch and allowed the Tigers to claw…
By: Matthew MacCormack David Walker caught the ball on the left wing midway through the second half of Thursday night’s battle with William & Mary. He hesitated, then took a dribble towards the paint, where Tribe guard Greg Malinowski stood waiting. Malinowski poked the ball from Walker’s reach, sending it high in the air. Before…
By: James Duffy It’s the most wonderful time of the year. But no, there are no kids jingle belling and Santa’s sleigh is not making its routes. Instead, it’s Beanpot Week. The four historic programs will do battle at Walter Brown Arena, and after the dust settles on February 9th, one will emerge as this…
By: Justin Littman Less than 36 hours after Northeastern lost a triple overtime thriller to Hofstra, the Huskies faced another tough test. Without Quincy Ford, who was unable to play after the Hofstra game, Northeastern was forced to play shorthanded on tired legs. Towson controlled the glass and scored 28 points off of 16 Husky turnovers,…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Heading into Saturday’s game against Merrimack riding a seven-game unbeaten streak, the contrast in Northeastern’s first half of the season up until now has been stunning for most, but for Huskies fans just another case of déjà vu. With several parallels to last season’s 0-8-1 start present this season, one is…
By: James Duffy Weekend Review Don’t look now, but there’s a team climbing out of the basement. The red-hot Northeastern Huskies kept the good times rolling last weekend with a sweep of New Hampshire, locking up four points to give them seven on the season. That’s right, they got more points in their last two…
By: Justin Littman BOSTON- After a disappointing 78-60 loss to William & Mary on Saturday, Northeastern was looking to get back on track at home. Unfortunately for the Huskies, James Madison had other ideas. Led by senior guard Ron Curry, James Madison took a 42-27 lead into the half and never looked back. “He (Curry)…
By: James Duffy Weekend Review It’s been a while, but the Hockey East Notebook is back after a long winter break and better than ever. There’s a lot to dive into since the last edition, with every team in Hockey East having played their fair share of games over the past month, so with out…

By: Matthew MacCormack BOSTON- Blood streamed from Bryn Forbes’ elbow as he walked towards the Michigan State trainer. Some had called the senior “soft” in the days leading up to Saturday’s matchup at Northeastern, but you could tell by the smile on his face what Forbes thought of those pundits.

By:Josh Brown BOSTON- With the women’s basketball team falling to Michigan State Friday night, and the men’s basketball team doing the same against the #1 ranked Spartans earlier that afternoon, Northeastern wanted to give their faithful something to hang their hat on going into 2016 on Saturday night. Behind 26 saves by Ryan Ruck, the…
By: Joshua Brown BOSTON- Up 3-1 entering the third period, things were looking up for Northeastern.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.-It was much of the same for Northeastern hockey, as the Huskies continued their early-season struggle in South Bend, dropping a 3-2 decision to Notre Dame.

By: James Duffy Weekend Review The opening weekend of Hockey East play was hardly decisive to say the least.

By: Dan McLoone MINNEAPOLIS- It was a tale of two goalies on Friday night, as Minnesota welcomed Northeastern to Mariucci Arena by scoring three quick goals on Derick Roy to force an early goalie change for the Huskies.
