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…

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. And they really did — before this season, Northeastern was 2-28 against the Dukes, including just one win on their home floor in 2012.…
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. It was a consistent, potent offense from the Huskies (10-6, 4-2…
Story by Matty Wasserman Photos by Sarah Olender BOSTON – After back-to-back road losses against Drexel University and the University of Delaware, the Huskies returned to their winning ways at the Cabot Center on Friday, defeating the Elon Phoenix 68-52. Northeastern’s leading scorer Kendall Currence stole the show with 20 points, shooting an efficient 9-14…
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. At long last, CAA play kicked off for the Huskies with a 77-67 victory over UNCW at home in the Cabot Center. Both teams came in a little rusty because both were coming back…
By Mike Puzzanghera It started and ended slow for Northeastern women’s basketball on Sunday. In their first game in 12 days, in front of zero fans in the newly-restricted unfamiliar home confines of Matthews Arena, the Huskies couldn’t get shots to fall and struggled mightily to contain Harvard’s potent offense, falling to the Crimson 75-43.…
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. These crosstown rivals each entered the game with high-powered offenses, but the 11 a.m. tip off might have left their shooting…
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. Thin at both guard and forward depth, the pressure was piled on to the starters for…
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. With a little under two weeks until the season starts, it’s time for the annual roundup of women’s basketball in…
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…
