BOSTON – The Huskies looked lost on the floor Wednesday afternoon when facing visiting UMass Amherst. After a slow first period, Northeastern could never quite recover, ultimately leading to a 71-52 defeat at home. The Minutewomen silenced junior guard Yirsy Queliz, holding her to just two points on one-for-three shooting from the field. In combination…
PISCATAWAY, NJ – With the momentum of Friday night’s matchup with the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights defined by a lack of first-half scoring opportunities and a superfluous amount of personal fouls, it should come as no surprise that the Northeastern University Huskies did not hold a lead at any point during their 79-56 loss. Rutgers…
BOSTON – Fueled by scoring from sophomore guard Camryn Collins and junior guard Yisry Quéliz, Northeastern secured their first home win of the season in a hard-fought 68-60 victory over the Sacred Heart Pioneers, the first-ever meeting between the two programs. The Huskies finally gave their home crowd something to celebrate. “It’s always a good…
The Providence Friars had lost the last six times they scored 50 points or fewer. Thanks to the Northeastern Huskies’ hapless offense, that streak was snapped today in a 50-45 victory. This game was just as much of a rock fight as the scoreline indicates. Neither team shot over 37% from the field, nor did…
BOSTON – The momentum of Friday’s 75-64 victory over Yale should have propelled Northeastern toward their first home win and back-to-back victories for the first time since the 2023-24 season. Instead, a fourth-quarter collapse — just seven points while Boston University poured in 22 — handed the Terriers their first win of the season and…
Being .500 has never felt so good for the Huskies. Riding a team effort where four different players scored between 14 and 15 points, Northeastern pushed the pace on offense and turned up the pressure on the other end of the floor to claim their first victory of the young season in a 75-64 win…
BOSTON, MASS – The excitement of a new season for the Huskies should bring a fresh feeling of ‘good things to come’ for the women at Cabot Center. However, Northeastern came out of the gates sluggish against Long Island University on Monday in a 75-60 defeat, reaffirming past doubts and woes from 2024-25’s three-win season…
They say “third time’s the charm,” but they also say “bad things come in threes.” The CAA’s women’s basketball head coaches seem to think the latter will be the case for Northeastern this year. The Huskies were picked to finish 13th out of the conference’s 13 teams in this season’s CAA preseason poll, and it’s…
Playing for pride — and perhaps trying to spark a bit of magic after injuries decimated their season for the second year in a row — Northeastern put up a valiant effort in the first round of the CAA Tournament on Wednesday afternoon, but ultimately fell to Towson by a final score of 67-44. Freshman…
BOSTON – Coming off of the thrill of their first home win of the season, Northeastern’s hopes for a winning streak were not answered against Towson. Without redshirt sophomore guard Abby Jegede, the Huskies offense faltered in the face of a hot Tigers team falling 67-51. Jegede, the CAA Basketball Player of the Night for…
BOSTON — In the dwindling weeks of CAA regular season play, Northeastern finally got their elusive first conference win, topping the Hofstra Pride 61-51. Gatorade showers rained down at the sounding of the final bell as the Cabot Center crowd at long last had something to celebrate. The offense, led by redshirt sophomore guard Abby…
BOSTON — On the night of Valentine’s Day, Northeastern was looking to break up with their 15-game losing streak. But it was NC A&T’s center Chaniya “Baby Shaq” Clark who would break their hearts instead at the Cabot Center, in a 73-55 win for the visitors on Friday night. Clark led the Aggies with 17…
Following a six-point loss to Drexel, Northeastern came into Sunday afternoon aiming to re-enter the win column for the first time since November. But, after a loosely-played final quarter, the Huskies dropped their 13th in a row by a score of 54-62. On National Women and Girls in Sports Day, and on a day where…
BOSTON — The Year of the Snake may have started Wednesday, but it was still the Year of the Dragon inside the Cabot Center Friday afternoon, as Drexel escaped with a 53-47 win and handed Northeastern their 12th straight loss on the season. The Huskies put up an improved performance mainly on the defensive end…
With a rotation of just six players Sunday, Northeastern started strong against William & Mary in a CAA conference matchup in the Cabot Center. The Huskies held the lead through the first three quarters, but the fourth quarter saw the Tribe really turn on the jets, as they outscored the home team 23-9 to take…
BOSTON — Northeastern has not played in many close games this season. Prior to Sunday afternoon’s CAA home opener against UNCW, just one of their 11 games had been decided by single digits — a 63-61 loss to LIU on the first day of December. Their only win of the season came relatively comfortably, in…
After four-straight games to start the season in which they failed to crack 50 points, Northeastern broke 70 on Friday night, defeating Wagner 71-56 to claim their first win of the 2024-25 campaign. The matchup wasn’t exactly a clash of the titans — the Huskies and Seahawks came into the game ranked #353 and #359,…
CAMBRIDGE — It couldn’t possibly get worse for Northeastern after their 58-31 pounding against UNH last Thursday — until it did. On Wednesday, the Huskies traveled across the river to Harvard, where they took an 89-37 beating from an NCAA tournament-caliber Crimson squad. Northeastern trailed 24-8 after the first quarter and found themselves in a…
BOSTON — Is it possible to hit rock bottom three games into the season? The Huskies certainly hope Thursday night’s game — a 58-31 thumping on their home floor at the hands of New Hampshire — is the worst it gets, because otherwise, it is going to be a long and agonizing year on Huntington…
BOSTON — Boston University guard Alex Giannaros scored 23 points in the first three quarters, including five three-pointers, as Northeastern fell to their crosstown rival in both teams’ opening game of the regular season, 60-48. With star forward Caitlin Weimar graduating after last season and transferring to North Carolina State, Giannaros is the only returner…
‘Murphy’s law’ is a popular adage that states that, simply, “everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” The 2023-24 Northeastern women’s basketball season might have been a perfect example of that law in action. Just over 10 minutes into the Huskies’ season opener against Stonehill, NU’s starting point guard, Derin Erdogan, suffered a shoulder…
2023-24 was not the kindest season for Northeastern. However, the squad showed their resilience and their skill, and persevered to finish the year 10-17. Additionally, they made the second round of the CAA tournament after a gutsy win over UNCW. What follows are photos from the talented WRBB photographers who were an integral part of…
With the end to a difficult season looming over them, Northeastern knew they had to fight every minute in the opening round of the CAA tournament. The Huskies had only won one game in their last 10, a senior day victory the last time they’d taken the court — but against a team with a…
BOSTON — Playing with just six healthy players for the second consecutive game, Northeastern picked up their first victory in a month, defeating Hampton 64-60 on a day where they honored four seniors appearing in their final game at the Cabot Center. The Senior Day festivities saw friends and family in town to recognize guards…
BOSTON — Playing their first game in two weeks — following a matchup they had to forfeit due to limited roster availability — Northeastern played second-place NC A&T tough in the first half before fading away, losing by a final score of 69-55. The Huskies’ lone scheduled game last weekend against Stony Brook was canceled…
BOSTON — Put simply, Friday night’s game against Elon was a disaster for Northeastern. The Huskies ended the first quarter ahead of the Phoenix 16-12 thanks to an early 7-0 run despite turning the ball over five times, a foreshadowing of the catastrophic game to come. Both Northeastern and Elon sat at 4-7 in CAA…
BOSTON — Northeastern’s Sunday afternoon Think Pink game, which honored breast cancer awareness against Stony Brook, was simply one to forget. The Seawolves entered play atop of the CAA with an 18-3 record that included an 8-2 record in conference play. Stony Brook’s conference success did not waver in the slightness as they rolled past…
BOSTON — Revenge was not to be for Northeastern. After losing to Monmouth in the CAA quarterfinals last year, the Huskies surely had their matchup against the Hawks circled on the calendar this season. But when the game finally arrived on Friday, NU didn’t hold a lead after the first quarter and their injury-wracked roster…
BOSTON — Despite their assertive 73-66 bounce-back win against Hofstra Friday night, Northeastern could not maintain any momentum versus Campbell. As one of the newer teams in the expanding CAA, Campbell traveled to the Cabot Center for the two teams’ first-ever matchup against each other. Elongated scoring droughts and difficulty guarding bigs in the paint…
BOSTON — Facing a Charleston team that pressures on defense for the entire game, Northeastern had no answer, committing 24 turnovers in a lopsided 83-46 loss Sunday afternoon at the Cabot Center. The Cougars’ style of play is to press in the backcourt and aggressively trap and hunt for steals. Their average turnover margin of…
BOSTON — After breaking their six-game losing streak Friday night against UNCW, Northeastern continued to take monumental steps in the right direction in Sunday’s assertive 66-53 victory over Hofstra. The Huskies shot an exceptional 46% and limited the Pride, a very strong offensive team, to a poor 28% from the floor. Another terrific performance from…
BOSTON – It was a rough night for the Huskies at the Cabot Center, as Northeastern’s CAA opener against Delaware resulted in a frustrating 86-73 defeat. Despite an efficient team 43.9% shooting performance from the floor and a career night from guard Derin Erdogan, Northeastern ultimately lost grasp of the game due to rebound difficulties…
It was a tough day at the office on Sunday for the injury-depleted Huskies, whose lack of roster depth was their downfall against a balanced Holy Cross opponent. The Crusaders’ offensive spark in the second quarter developed into a full-blown blaze of scoring in the second half, and Northeastern just couldn’t handle the heat, falling…
BOSTON — The Northeastern Huskies opened up the rubber match of their short two-game homestand against the Wagner Seahawks, hoping to come away with a win going into Thanksgiving. They did just that with a big 63-46 to victory, though things didn’t go as smoothly as the final score may suggest. The Huskies came into…
BOSTON — It was easy to lose track of how many times bodies crashed to the hardwood Thursday night at the Cabot Center, as Northeastern endured a physical, scrappy game against Merrimack, prevailing by a final score of 58-47. The Huskies were banged up to begin with, specifically senior guard Derin Erdogan, who has been…
CHESTNUT HILL — The Huskies have been bested for the first time this season.. After a sparkling 2-0 start to the year, with two in-state wins over Stonehill and UMass, their quest for supremacy over the state of Massachusetts was halted Sunday against Boston College, falling 67-58 at Conte Forum. Northeastern kept the game close…
BOSTON — Junior forward Asha Parker had a career-high 18 points, and junior guard Gemima Motema chipped in 16, as Northeastern held off a UMass comeback attempt in the closing minutes to defeat their in-state rival 78-74 in the first game of the season at the Cabot Center. The first quarter of Thursday night’s contest…
EASTON — It wasn’t always pretty, but Northeastern pulled out a 73-61 win over Stonehill Monday night at Merkert Gymnasium, opening their 2023-24 campaign and Priscilla Edwards-Lloyd’s head coaching career with a victory. Both teams were clearly eager to begin their seasons, as the game started with a frenetic pace up and down the court.…
After 13 years as an assistant coach across four Division 1 basketball programs, and two years after she first applied for the Northeastern job, Priscilla Edward-Lloyd finally landed her first-ever head coaching role with the Huskies this offseason. Edwards-Lloyd scored over 800 points over four years playing at St. Bonaventure, where she graduated in 2008.…
The news in April that former Northeastern women’s basketball head coach Bridgette Mitchell would be leaving to take on the same role at Fordham might have been surprising — only because it seemed a year or two earlier than expected. Mitchell’s two-year tenure with the Huskies solidified her as a rising star in the coaching…
After two seasons as Northeastern women’s basketball coach, Bridgette Mitchell is departing for the same role at Fordham, Northeastern announced in a press release Friday. Mitchell arrived at Northeastern in 2021 without head coaching experience, and inherited a long-struggling program with two winning conference records over the previous 20 years. After being picked to finish…
TOWSON, MD. – Nobody played No. 3 Northeastern tougher in the regular season than No. 7 Monmouth. The Huskies and Hawks split their first-ever regular season series as CAA opponents, with each team taking their respective victory at home. The third meeting of the two programs came Saturday night in SECU Arena, with Monmouth earning…
TOWSON, Md. — No. 3 Northeastern entered the third quarter of their quarterfinal matchup against No. 6 Stony Brook faintly holding onto a two-point lead. Just over three minutes later though, the Huskies grabbed a 13-point lead and never looked back, topping an exhausted Seawolves squad 85-68. “Honestly, I think we ran out of gas,”…
BOSTON — Northeastern earned a convincing victory over Hampton on Sunday, with a final score of 79-46. The blowout victory featured standout guard performances from Senior Day honorees JaMiya Braxton and Anna Boruta. In their previous matchup this season, Northeastern beat Hampton 72-67 in a tightly contested game. Now riding the waves of their five-game…
BOSTON — As Northeastern trailed by 14 points early in the third quarter Friday night, it appeared as if their run of four-straight victories was coming to an end on their home floor. Instead, the Huskies rattled off 22 unanswered points in an astounding turn of events, and held the lead for the rest of…
Despite turnover struggles, Northeastern emerged victorious over Hampton 72-67 in Sunday afternoon’s road matchup. Aggressive full-court pressing and lights-out shooting from behind the arc were on full display as the Huskies managed to hang on in a cagey fourth quarter, grabbing their second victory in a row. Heading into the game, Northeastern’s 6-5 conference record…
BOSTON — Northeastern played Stony Brook in a hard fought game Thursday night. They got off to a slow start, but junior guard Derin Erdogan’s 19 points and senior guard Jaelyn Batts’ 16 rebounds were too much for the CAA newcomer Stony Brook, as the Seawolves fell in Cabot Center 68-63. In the first quarter,…
BOSTON — Keishana Washington showed why she’s one of the best players in the country Friday night inside the Cabot Center. The graduate student guard from Drexel poured in bucket after bucket, tallying 29 points on 20 shots in her team’s 67-56 victory over the Huskies. While Washington started off slow, missing her first two…
BOSTON — The Cabot Center was rocking on Saturday, as Northeastern took on Monmouth in a highly-anticipated rematch from late December’s CAA opener. Though Monmouth got the better of the Huskies in their first meeting, this time around the Huskies put on a thrilling performance and came away with a 75-70 victory in a nail-biting…
BOSTON — Northeastern nearly completed a remarkable comeback from a 17-point deficit, but Towson’s hot three-point shooting proved to be the difference as the Tigers handed the Huskies their first home loss of CAA play, by a final score of 73-67. Six different Towson players connected from deep in the first half, as the Tigers…
Although Northeastern got off to a shaky start in Sunday afternoon’s matchup with Hofstra, they hit their stride come the second quarter of play. The Huskies’ shooters were firing on all cylinders as they ran away with a 68-48 win over the Pride, marking their second consecutive victory. Coming into the game, the two teams…
UNC Wilmington won the opening tip against Northeastern, but that was just about the only thing that went right for the Seahawks on Sunday. The Huskies exploded in their best offensive showing of the season, cruising to a 92-51 rout on their home floor. Seldom will you find a team more fundamentally sound than this 2022-23…
BOSTON — When you have carbon and put pressure on it, diamonds are formed. In basketball, when you have a team that doesn’t play well fast and you put pressure on it, you get turnovers and easy buckets. That’s exactly what the Northeastern Huskies did in their 71-57 win over the William & Mary Tribe…
In the final game of their nonconference slate, boosted by the additions of three players recently cleared for game action, Northeastern used an all-around effort to pull away from in-state opponent Stonehill for a 75-64 victory. The Huskies got three players back on the court Tuesday night. Graduate student guard JaMiya Braxton made her first…
Northeastern may have been playing Harvard on Monday night, but it was the Huskies who were red hot in the 73-64 win over the Crimson. From start to finish, Northeastern essentially couldn’t miss, shooting 64.4% from the field in the game, including 67% in the first and third quarters. On the other side, Harvard shot…
BOSTON — The Northeastern Huskies returned to the Cabot Center for the first time this season on Saturday as they took on another in-state rival in Holy Cross, after a Tuesday victory against Merrimack. The Huskies offense started the same as it did earlier earlier this week, with junior guard Derin Erdogan aggressively leading the…
NORTH ANDOVER — Wednesday night’s showdown between Merrimack and Northeastern, the first ever game between these in-state foes, was all about the Huskies. The visitors dominated both sides of the court, cruising to a 75-47 victory to snap a three-game skid. Two keys to the game for the Huskies were limiting turnovers and finding perimeter…
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…
DURHAM, N.H. — After a hard-fought loss at home against Boston College, Northeastern looked to right the ship against a shorthanded New Hampshire. Despite the cold day, the Huskies rolled into Durham on fire from a distance and held off a second-half UNH surge en route to a 63-51 win. The Huskies started off the…
Story by Peyton Doyle and Mike Puzzanghera BOSTON — For the second time in the first three games of the season, a Northeastern women’s basketball game was decided in the closing seconds.

Storrs, Conn. — For the first time in 13 years, Northeastern women’s basketball went down to Storrs, Connecticut to face off with Geno Auriemma’s Huskies. Playing against the No. 6 team in the country, Northeastern did their best to compete with UConn, but couldn’t take home an upset win. At the end of the night,…
BOSTON — Down the stretch of a neck-and-neck battle against crosstown rival Boston University in Monday night’s season opener, Northeastern turned to their new star — junior point guard Derin Erdogan. The Arizona transfer scored the Huskies’ last seven points, including two late free throws, to give the Huskies a dramatic 66-65 win at Case…
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…
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…
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…
Story by Peyton Doyle PHILADELPHIA — For the first three quarters the Northeastern Huskies looked like they were going to advance to the semifinals of the CAA women’s basketball tournament and play the Delaware Blue Hens. The Huskies however, were unable to keep up as time ran out with a talented Towson Tigers team that…
By Mike Puzzanghera After a long but full season of CAA women’s basketball, the conference tournament tips off Thursday night from the Daskalakis Athletic Center in Philadelphia. 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…
Story by Alexis Spring In the penultimate game of the regular season, the Northeastern Huskies (14-13) ventured to Wilmington to face the UNCW Seahawks (3-24) in a Thursday night conference battle. All was not easy, as the Seahawks came to play, especially guard Sierra DaCosta and forward Micah Hoggatt. Coming off of an explosive play…
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…
Story by Jordan Walsh BOSTON — After their star guard suffered an injury less than six minutes into the game, the Northeastern Huskies (13-13, 7-9 CAA) used their depth to battle through adversity, but fell to the Towson Tigers (22-5, 13-3 CAA) Sunday afternoon by a score of 57-56. In an awkward play in the…
Story by Peyton Doyle and Mike Puzzanghera Photos by Sarah Olender and Matthew Chu BOSTON – Throughout James Madison’s run in the CAA, it felt like they always had Northeastern’s number.

Story by Rae Deer ELON, NC– The Northeastern women’s basketball team has been plagued with quite the unlucky streak. Since their devastating 56-43 loss to Hofstra on February 6th, the team has had their work cut out for them and have been unable to garner a win, dropping their fifth straight to Elon on Sunday…
Story by Jordan Walsh Photos by Kayla Shiao BOSTON — Hours before the Super Bowl, the Northeastern women’s basketball team (12-10) struggled with a different kind of two-point conversion as they fell to the Drexel Dragons (19-3) Sunday afternoon at the Cabot Center by a score of 61-46. The Huskies shot better from beyond the…
Story by Jordan Walsh Photos by Kayla Shiao BOSTON – It won’t show in the standings, but the Northeastern Huskies (12-9) gave the conference-leading Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens (17-5) all they could handle Friday night at the Cabot Center. The Blue Hens came into the contest on a six-game win streak and boasted a 10-1 record…
By Jordan Walsh HEMPSTEAD, NY — Coming off of their first conference road win of the season, the Northeastern Huskies (12-8) floundered on the offensive end as they fell to the Hofstra Pride (5-12) by a final score of 56-43. The Huskies tied their season low in points (also netting 43 against Harvard in December)…
By Catherine Morrison HARRISONBURG, VA – Sunday’s afternoon tilt started with an almost immediate layup by Kendell Currence to get the early lead for Northeastern. But despite the fast start, the Huskies and the Dukes struggled to get anything going offensively, with the next point coming in at six minutes when a foul was called…
Story by Mike Puzzanghera and Peyton Doyle Photos by Kayla Shiao BOSTON – Northeastern ended the first quarter with an Asha Parker lay-up. It seemed innocuous at first — a solid second-chance shot after an offensive rebound just before the buzzer to give the Huskies a five-point lead over Charleston after one quarter of play. But…
By Mike Puzzanghera The starting quintet of Kendall Currence, Claudia Soriano, Katie May, Gemima Motema, and Emily Calabrese combined to score 60 of Northeastern’s 67 points Sunday afternoon, as the Huskies rolled to a 67-57 win over William & Mary at the Cabot Center.

By Mike Puzzanghera Stopping Delaware’s Jasmine Dickey has proven to be a near impossible task for all challengers this season. The nation’s third-leading scorer is a threat from anywhere, and Northeastern certainly felt that Sunday, as Dickey lit up the Huskies with 31 points and 10 rebounds. A huge fourth quarter allowed Delaware to put…
Story by Rae Deer After a 2-0 start to conference play, the Northeastern women’s basketball team has finally met their match. A strong second half push after a sluggish start was not enough to save the Huskies from falling to reigning CAA champions, Drexel University, 63-50 on Friday night. Drexel played up and down the…
Story by Catherine Morrison Photo by Sarah Olender In their second conference game, the Northeastern women’s basketball team looked to make a statement: that their first conference game wasn’t a fluke and that they weren’t deserving of being ranked dead last in the preseason CAA polls. Rookie standout Claudia Soriano, however, was not able to…
Story and Photo by Sarah Olender After an 18-day hiatus from gameplay, the Northeastern women’s basketball team was back in action.

By Mike Puzzanghera It started and ended slow for Northeastern women’s basketball on Sunday.

Story by Rae Deer HARTFORD, CT – Where there’s a rebound there’s a way. That could be seen as the motto for the triumph that the Northeastern women’s basketball team found against the University of Hartford Sunday afternoon. Drawing blood in the early moments of the game, they would proceed to dominate from the floor…
Story by Peyton Doyle Photos by Sarah Olender The Northeastern Huskies continued their undefeated start at home this season in their clash against the Boston University Terriers in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

By Jordan Walsh The only previous meeting between the Northeastern Huskies (4-2) and Central Michigan Chippewas (1-3) prior to Friday night was almost exactly two years ago, Nov. 27, 2019. CMU, in a season that would end with a third consecutive NCAA tournament berth, defeated the Huskies that evening by a score of 79-63. Both…
Story by Mike Puzzanghera Photos by Kayla Shiao The Northeastern women’s basketball team (3-1) entered their matchup with UMass Lowell (1-3) without two key players but did not let that stop them on their way to a 61-47 victory.

Story by Peyton Doyle Photos by Mike Puzzanghera First-year Northeastern Huskies (2-1) head coach Bridgette Mitchell could not have asked for a much better game from her women’s basketball team in their home opener against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats (1-2) Wednesday night. “We had so many students here, we’re so thankful for them.…
By Mike Puzzanghera Anytime a team opens a season with a 9-0 scoring run, it’s a good sign. To do so under a new head coach and revamped staff on the road is an even more impressive feat. That’s what Northeastern women’s basketball put together in the first quarter at Holy Cross Wednesday night, jumping…
By Daisy Roberts The Northeastern Women’s Basketball team lost three of their starting five from last season. Mide Oriyomi made a transfer to Purdue, and Stella Clark and Ayanna Dublin graduated. But the four new members of this year’s team are eager to prove that the departures of last season will not be missed much.…
By Catherine Morrison On October 27th, the CAA preseason poll for women’s basketball was released, putting last year’s regular season champions Delaware and last year’s tournament champions Drexel tied at the top and Northeastern last.

By Sarah Olender You could blame COVID, you could blame the inconsistency of the season, you could blame it on a variety of outside variables, but the fact is that the Northeastern women’s basketball team did not play to their full potential in the 2020-2021 season. The team had the talent and the experience which…
