BROOKLINE — After blanking opponents in six of the first 26 games of the season, Northeastern entered Tuesday’s contest tied for the nationwide lead in shutouts. When the curtains closed on the Beanpot semifinal showdown against Boston College, a 3-0 scoreline vaulted the Huskies atop the stat chart, and punched their ticket to the championship…

Recruit now, win in four. Since the dawn of college basketball — college athletics in general, really — that was the mantra. Coaches recruited players out of high school under the assumption that they’d have four years to mold them into better players, better individuals, better winners, all while the athlete donned the same colors…
For the second day in a row, Northeastern punched five home runs over the wall at Joe Nathan Field, this time en route to a decisive 13-5 victory over the Seawolves to claim their second CAA series. And for a team that struggled to find its offensive groove to start the season, the Huskies have…
The offensive onslaught started early for Northeastern during Friday’s contest against the Stony Brook Seawolves, the first of a three-game weekend series on Long Island. Despite both sides recording hits in the first inning, it took until the top half of the second for the Huskies to open the game’s scoring. It started when Harrison…
BROOKLINE — As the baseball dropped between sophomore Ryan Gerety and junior Cam Maldonado in the right-centerfield gap, a hush fell over Friedman Diamond. Just like that, perfection through 8.1 frames was gone. But what surrounded it was still dominance — the best pitching performance of the season, as graduate student Max Gitlin went the…
BROOKLINE — Northeastern’s success continued as a dominant outing on the mound combined with timely hitting gave the Huskies a 6-2 win to secure the series triumph over Towson. Starting pitcher Jordan Gottesman, a graduate student transfer from Endicott, delivered the day’s standout performance, putting up six innings, while giving up only one hit and…
BROOKLINE — Northeastern’s hot offensive afternoon, combined with a gem from junior starter Aiven Cabral, gave the Huskies a 10-0 win in seven innings to even the series against Towson. The right-handed Cabral pitched all seven innings of the match, only allowing one hit while recording six strikeouts. He tallied 59 strikes on 79 total…
BROOKLINE — An ice-cold offense notched just five hits on Friday as Northeastern fell to Towson 3-2 in 11 innings to open conference play. The Huskies entered the matchup with the odds in their favor, leading the Coastal Athletic Association in four separate pitching categories, including four shutouts, tying for the national high. The team…
BOSTON — Cameron Whitehead dropped his head down to ice. Joe Connor fell to a knee, then went to console his desolate netminder. Jack Williams, who had played over 29 minutes despite battling the flu, could hardly move as he stared blankly from the bench. The Huskies had arrived at a moment almost no one…
BRIGHTON — If you watched this Northeastern team this week, you would have thought you were watching two totally different teams, as Boston College did not look back after scoring six runs in the first five innings in Wednesday’s matchup. A leadoff triple from Eagles’ center fielder Josiah Ragsdale in the first inning seemed to…
BROOKLINE — It didn’t long for Northeastern fans to realize Tuesday afternoon’s contest would be a slugfest, as the Huskies crossed home plate five times in the first three innings to propel themselves to a decisive win against Merrimack. It wasn’t just the bats, though. Northeastern’s pitching staff, led by Ryan McCarroll, sophomore Nick Coniglio,…
Welcome to the 2025 women’s hockey offseason live tracker! We’ll be updating this page as news breaks all offseason long, so make sure to check back here for the very latest. Transfer Portal (Losses) 3/17/25 — So. Mady Cipolla, Forward (Source) Late Monday night, Northeastern forward Mady Cipolla entered the transfer portal. The sophomore only…
On a breezy Brookline afternoon, the Northeastern Huskies closed the book on this weekend’s series against Harvard with an 8-4 win, led by solid showings from the top of the lineup and some hard-fought pitching performances throughout the game. Toeing the rubber for Northeastern on Sunday was graduate southpaw Jordan Gottesman, who’d put up some…
CHESTNUT HILL — As Ryan McGuire’s shot trickled 150 feet down the ice and found the empty net with 2.1 seconds left, Cameron Whitehead paused to savor the moment. He raised both of his arms straight in the air. He exchanged a hug and a few private words with captain Jack Williams. And then, he…
After Wednesday night’s 3-2 double-overtime victory against Merrimack, Thursday is right back to business for Northeastern. “We’ll meet tomorrow [Thursday]. Probably just watch a little bit of video. Guys that want to go on the ice will go on the ice,” said Northeastern head coach Jerry Keefe, following Wednesday’s win. “And then we got a…
NORTH ANDOVER — Dylan Hryckowian had been on the ice for all of five seconds when his eyes “lit up.” As Hryckowian skated to join his linemates midway through an offensive zone cycle, defender Jackson Dorrington sent in a hard shot from the right point. And sure enough, the long rebound careened perfectly onto Hryckowian’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…
Five games in six days is no easy feat, especially when it caps off a month on the road. After a series sweep at San Diego State, Northeastern returned to the east coast for some more local competition. However, the weeks of travel and hard gameplay finally caught up to the Huskies when they headed…
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The Huskies spent three days in San Diego without a cloud in sight. However, it was cloudy skies all weekend for San Diego State. After travelling over 5,000 miles away from Boston to Hawaii, where Northeastern dropped three of four to the Rainbow Warriors, the Huskies headed back to the mainland…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Charlotte wasn’t supposed to die in “Charlotte’s Web”. I don’t make the rules; it just wasn’t supposed to happen. A character so integral to the story, who deserved so much better, simply should not have been scripted to die when she did. The same feeling applies to Northeastern men’s basketball, who crashed…
STORRS, Conn. — Heartbreak never gets any easier. It’s always rough, no matter when it happens or what causes it. But an overtime loss in a playoff or championship game might be the most painful version of all. For a second-straight year, and for the fourth time in the last five seasons, Northeastern is understanding…
BOSTON — Northeastern’s final game of the regular season saw them playing at home against the Providence Friars in a senior night matchup where the Huskies honored Jake Boltmann, Jake Higgins, Ryan McGuire and Christophe Tellier. Despite their best efforts, the Huskies fell short 3-2 against PC. The contest had high stakes from the beginning,…
The 2024-25 regular season came and went in the blink of an eye. Now it’s March, and in college basketball, March is synonymous with one thing: tournament season. Of course there’s the big one — March Madness – but there are dozens of conference tournaments to be played first, where each will populate an NCAA…
STORRS, Conn. — What happens when you combine the success of Northeastern in third periods and the electricity of Skylar Irving every time she touches the ice? Fireworks. And a winning formula, apparently. Led by two goals from the senior forward, the Huskies skated to a 3-1 comeback win over No. 1 UConn in the…
In Hawaiian legend, it is said that the goddess Pele sent a dog to the Mauna Loa volcano to warn locals of upcoming eruptions. As the story goes, the dog was seen before two separate eruptions, but hasn’t been seen since. The Huskies traveled 5,000 miles west for a four-game series against the Hawaii Rainbow…
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — If there’s one thing Northeastern is good at — and in reality there are many — it’s playing big in big moments. The Huskies proved that again Saturday, as they traveled to Providence to take on the Friars in the Quarterfinal round of the Hockey East championship tournament. In arguably one of…
BOSTON – First it was one goal, then three, then seven. To put it simply, Saturday night’s 7-1 loss against UConn at Matthews Arena was a low point for Northeastern in a disappointing season. The first period opened with Northeastern clearly trying to set the tone for the game, consisting of improved puck possession and…
WILLIAMSBURG, VA — With the score tied, time winding down, and every corner of a raucous Kaplan Arena exploding in noise, Rashad King stood stoically at halfcourt with the ball on his hip. Eventually, King launched into a series of crossovers; with nine seconds on the game clock, he jolted left, evading an oncoming double…
BOSTON, MA — The future of Matthews Arena is admittedly up in the air. For 44 long years, the old barn has played a very gracious host to Northeastern men’s basketball. While the red and black will grace the historic building for at least part of one more season, you don’t want to take things…
To close out the 2024-25 regular season, Northeastern traveled to Vermont this past weekend to take on the Catamounts. After dropping a 1-0 game at Matthews Arena earlier in the month, the Huskies were looking to enact some revenge, however they were unable to do so until Saturday, as they dropped the opening game 3-2.…
BOSTON — As the final horn sounded on Northeastern’s hard-fought 3-1 loss to No. 9 Boston University on Saturday night, the Huskies left the ice with a mix of frustration and determination. On the one hand, they had pushed one of the nation’s best teams to the brink, but on the other hand, they’d ultimately…
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – Northeastern came out of the gates strong in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against Indiana State, handily defeating the Sycamores in a 7-0 beatdown headlined by the efforts of catcher Gregory Bozzo’s three RBI day. Following a lackluster season opener for junior pitcher Aiven Cabral, in which he surrendered three…
BOSTON — As the final seconds ticked away from Northeastern’s 5-1 victory over No. 9 Boston University, the emotions flowing from the Huskies’ bench reflected a team that was largely treating the win as business-as-usual. Yes, Northeastern was certainly pleased with their thorough effort against a top opponent in a tough road environment. But also,…
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…
Coming off of a 1-1 series split at Charlotte, Northeastern traveled down to Fort Myers, Florida for the twenty-first annual exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox to kick off the big league club’s spring training. Though the Red Sox showed some struggles in the start of the seven inning game, they quickly shook the…
BOSTON — Following a weekend sweep at home over Campbell and Stony Brook to improve their conference record to 7-7, Northeastern could not continue the momentum against the visiting Charleston Cougars, falling Thursday night by a score of 73-62. The Huskies lost the previous meeting this season at Charleston’s TD Arena by just two points,…
Editor’s Note: This story is a collaboration with the Boston Hockey Blog, a student-run media outlet covering Boston University hockey. Though the Northeastern and BU men’s hockey teams enter this weekend’s series headed in opposite directions, both sides are prepared for tight games in their only two regular season meetings of the season. The last…
BOSTON — If you’re under the impression Northeastern has looked uncharacteristically unsure of themselves over the last few weeks, you aren’t the only one. “[Our] effort needs to be better, consistency is an issue right now so we need to figure it out here going into the final stretch into the playoffs,” said Northeastern head…
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…
LOWELL — Northeastern headed up to the Tsongas Center Saturday night with the wind back under their wings. After riding a four-game losing streak into the weekend, the Huskies had put together one of their best top-to-bottom efforts Friday night and looked to be on a rebound to right out the last few weeks of…
BOSTON — Coming down the final stretch of the season, Northeastern is finding their stride at the right time. After a big 67-58 win against Campbell on Thursday, the Huskies followed it up with a very comfortable victory over Stony Brook, leading for the majority of the game and taking it 71-60. Junior Rashad King…
As he assumed the crease on Friday for his first NCAA start, freshman Quentin Sigurdson said his primary focus was “just trying to be a calming presence for the team.” After practicing as the No. 2 goalie throughout the year, Sigurdson had already been thrown into the fire on three separate occasions this season —…
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…
There never can be a calm game between Northeastern and Boston College, can there? Friday’s matinée game between the Huskies and Eagles exemplified this. Both sides were relentless on the ice all afternoon, combining for 76 shots on goal, 14:40 of power play time, nine total goals, and multiple heart-stopping moments over the course of…
Is it really baseball season already? There’s snow on the ground. Wind chills are routinely dipping into single digits. President’s Day is just around the corner. The Super Bowl wasn’t even a week ago! If you’re reading this, though, you’ll surely know that my opening question was rhetorical. It is baseball season — even if…
BOSTON — Northeastern head coach Bill Coen’s response to a “how are you?” postgame said it all. “Better than the last time I saw you guys,” Coen replied, with a hint of a smile. That last time was after a head-scratching wire-to-wire loss on the Huskies’ home floor to Hampton, a team that Northeastern dominated…
BOSTON — Though it had been eight years since Northeastern last played in the consolation round of the Beanpot, head coach Jerry Keefe felt good about his group’s intensity headed into Monday. After falling 8-2 to Boston College in last week’s semifinal, Keefe noted he was happy with the team’s week of practice and mindset…
Monday’s game against Harvard will mean the first time in six years that Northeastern students have to attend the consolation game in the final round of the Beanpot. Last week’s brutal loss to No. 1 Boston College spelt the end of the Huskies’ hopes for a three-peat championship, with eight different Eagles’ skaters sounding the…
BOSTON — This four-game homestand was supposed to revitalize the Northeastern Huskies (13-12, 5-7). Instead, a team that’d mostly disappointed throughout the first half of conference play did so once again, dropping the first game of said homestand in an 84-75 defeat to a lowly Hampton Pirates (12-13, 4-9) squad that they dominated just nine…
Tuesday’s game for Northeastern was highlighted by a final period that included 20 minutes of their best hockey all season. The Huskies erased a two goal deficit to force the contest into overtime against No. 14 Boston University, before dropping the game after a last minute winner from Alex Law. Friday, up in Orono, Maine…
Rashad King missed his first shot. Then, he missed his second shot. And his third. And his fourth. But, as he’s done so often this season, the junior simply put his head down, dug deep, and led Northeastern to a win, by any means necessary. And, when the dust settled on the Huskies’ visit to…
BOSTON — Any lasting luck from Northeastern’s Beanpot Championship faded Tuesday night, as the Huskies fell in a 3-2 loss against Boston University. The opening frame was defined by a lack of offensive rhythm for both teams, particularly the Huskies. The first six minutes saw little in the way of scoring opportunities, with no shots…
BOSTON — Jerry Keefe stood motionless and stared blankly up at the TD Garden jumbotron. After an opposing team’s score, Northeastern’s head coach is often quick to show emotion. But after a defensive breakdown left junior Lukas Gustafsson wide-open to put Boston College up 4-1 just 35 seconds into the second period, Keefe and the…
Northeastern faces Boston College in TD Garden Monday night at 8:00 p.m. for the first round of the men’s Beanpot tournament, and it’ll be the biggest test they’ve had all season. The Huskies are no strangers to being underdogs in the local competition, especially as the caliber of their opponents has increased. Northeastern holds a…
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…
STORRS, Conn. – In an intense back-and-forth matchup, Northeastern secured a dramatic overtime victory against UConn, winning 4-3 in a thriller Saturday night at Toscano Family Forum. The first period saw a similar theme as recent games between these teams, with each side generating scoring opportunities but struggling to find the back of the net.…
A disjointed run of play in Saturday’s second half saw Northeastern fall behind and never recover, ultimately suffering a 71-60 defeat at the hands of the Elon Phoenix. To be frank, most of Saturday’s performance was somewhat disjointed; however, for large chunks of the night, the Huskies’ offensive ineptitude was matched stride-for-stride by Elon’s. When…
ORONO, Maine — It wasn’t a game Northeastern was supposed to win, so the 3-1 loss came as no surprise. But Northeastern gave it their best shot, at least through the first half of the contest. Heading up to the Alfond Arena Friday night, the Huskies went headfirst into a hostile environment of dedicated Black…
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…
Some nights, everything just goes your way. For Northeastern, Thursday’s trip to Hampton certainly fell in that category. The Huskies jumped in front on the first possession, bashed the rearview mirror to bits, and cruised to a wire-to-wire, 78-69 victory over the Pirates. JB Frankel jump-started the festivities with two threes in the opening minutes,…
The annual Beanpot Media Luncheon at TD Garden on Monday afternoon arrived at a bit of an awkward moment for the Huskies. After winning four of five games to kick off January, Northeastern’s positive momentum came crashing down with a 4-3 loss to Merrimack on Saturday at Matthews Arena. It was the latest setback in…
BOSTON – The early portion of the CAA schedule has not been kind to the Northeastern Huskies. When the Towson Tigers came to town for Monday’s nationally-televised nightcap, it marked the fourth game out of eight in which Northeastern had squared off against a team sitting in the top four of the conference standings. Two…
BOSTON – So much for momentum. After a promising stretch where Northeastern won four of their previous five games and captured their first weekend sweep of the season over Vermont, the Huskies were hoping to continue the momentum in Hockey East action against Merrimack Saturday night. Despite a valiant late-game surge, the Huskies fell short,…
NORTH ANDOVER, MA — Northeastern battled through a slow start and leaned on their special teams, depth scoring, and stellar goaltending from Lisa Jönsson to come out on top with a 4-1 win against Merrimack. The win demonstrated the team’s ability to maintain their energy and focus through a demanding stretch of the schedule. Despite…
BOSTON – Whether they’re at TD Garden or Matthews Arena, Northeastern has proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in Hockey East. Coming hot off of their historic Beanpot victory this past Tuesday, the Huskies momentum continued, with a 4-0 shutout victory over Merrimack on Friday night. Merrimack brought the…
BOSTON, MA — With the toughest part of the CAA schedule behind them, Thursday marked a foot-in-the-ground opportunity for Northeastern to get back on track. Consecutive, brutal road losses at UNCW and Charleston a week ago dropped the Huskies to just 2-4 in-conference, an ugly record which eroded most of the good feeling they generated…
BOSTON — On Saturday, Northeastern looked discombobulated after back-to-back losses to Providence. Three days later, after a 4-0 win over Boston University to capture the 20th Beanpot Championship in program history, the only way to describe them would be euphoric. In a solid, complete game performance, the Huskies took down the Terriers once again in…
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…
Tuesday, when the puck hits the ice at 7:30 p.m., the moment will feel a little larger than usual for the Northeastern Huskies and Boston University Terriers. With the Dunkin’ Women’s Beanpot championship game being staged at TD Garden for the second consecutive season – a milestone for women’s sports after 44 prior tournaments had…
BURLINGTON, VT — As Jack Williams buried his second goal of the night to put Northeastern up 3-1 in the waning minutes of regulation, he let out a triumphant yell. Then, without breaking stride, Williams pointed his stick in the direction of the fans lining the boards at Gutterson Fieldhouse, tucked his hands together beneath…
CHARLESTON, S.C. — On Saturday evening, Northeastern scored 85 points in front of a sellout crowd of 5,132 at TD Arena, one of the toughest places to play in all of the CAA. Five Huskies scored in double-digits, and Northeastern went 8-for-18 (44%) from three-point range, their highest mark of the season. The Huskies won…
BOSTON — Discombobulated. If there was a word to describe the weekend for Northeastern, it would be that. Or maybe even disastrous. But whatever word you want to choose, what the weekend wasn’t, was productive. In the two-gameseries between Beanpot games, the Huskies couldn’t seem to get anything going against Providence, dropping back-to-back games 5-1…
On a night where sophomore Mattie Robitzer made her first career start in net for Northeastern, the team couldn’t find a way to break past Providence for more than seconds at a time, and ultimately fell 5-1. Photographer Jacob Oshinsky traveled to Schneider Arena for the game between the Huskies and Friars, and has more…
BURLINGTON, VT – Northeastern came into Friday night’s game against Vermont on the hunt. Following a dominant win last Saturday over UMass, the Huskies were looking to continue building up momentum in a Hockey East conference that is as competitive top-to-bottom as ever — including a Catamounts squad that had few expectations entering the season,…
BOSTON — Tuesday night, when the doors separating each team’s respective locker rooms from the ice opened, Boston College and Northeastern University staged more than an ordinary hockey game. Taking part in the 46th edition of The Dunkin’ Women’s Beanpot, the two teams entered the ice beneath flashing lights and a roaring, record crowd as…
When the 2024-25 hockey season started, it was hard to say where the two-time reigning women’s Beanpot champions stood. The Northeastern women’s hockey team fought through an up-and-down first half of the season, struggling to win back-to-back games with a power play percentage near the bottom of the NCAA, while still claiming big wins over…
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…
AMHERST – There have been moments that have been disappointing. There have been moments that have felt like if one or two things went their way the results would be different, and, of course, there have been many moments that have just been flat out bad. And for Friday night’s 5-0 defeat to UMass, it…
It doesn’t matter who you are, or who you’re playing – winning conference games on the road is never easy. Easy or not, though, Saturday’s game at Stony Brook (4-14, 0-4) felt like more than an ordinary mid-January game. For a team on a two-game skid, a road date with the bottom-feeding Seawolves presented a…
BOSTON — No matter how tumultuous or frustrating these first three months of the season have been for Northeastern, every opportunity was in front of them on Friday night. In their first home game in over a month, Matthews Arena was sold out and the Dog House was rocking. The lineup was at full health.…
Beating the CAA preseason favorite in their own gym was always slated to be a tall task. Doing it without three of your better players was certainly going to be even tougher. College basketball doesn’t “schedule” losses in the same way the NBA does, but Northeastern’s defeat at TU Arena on Thursday night could be…
BOSTON — With three games in a five-day span to open the second semester after a full calendar month off, Northeastern viewed their first week of January almost like the start of a second season. And after winning all three contests and scoring three or more goals in each — a feat they didn’t accomplish…
HAMDEN, Conn. — In the lead up to Saturday’s road tilt against No. 17 Quinnipiac, Northeastern head coach Jerry Keefe relayed a simple message to his struggling group. “We talked about that it’s a new year,” Keefe said. “The 2025 version of the Huskies.” If Saturday’s performance was any indication, the 2025 Huskies may have…
BOSTON — There was nothing not to love about Northeastern’s game Saturday night as they blew out the Holy Cross Crusaders at home 4-0. The Huskies were an offensive powerhouse, dominating the Crusaders up and down the ice and notching a staggering season-high 45 shots on goal to Holy Cross’s measly 14. “It was probably…
BOSTON — When the sun rose on Saturday morning, there was a really good feeling in and around Northeastern basketball. Hours later, in the wake of one of the poorest offensive performances in program history, that feeling has dissipated somewhat. Saturday’s game didn’t erase the objectively good start the Huskies have had to this campaign,…
BOSTON — If there was any resolution for Northeastern to start 2025, it was probably to find some depth scoring in the new year. And on Friday, they delivered with a multi-goal, high shooting, complete game effort in their 3-1 win over Merrimack. The first period did not start out as well rounded, however. The…
BOSTON — Yes, the Coastal Athletic Association isn’t college basketball’s most prestigious conference. But, as has been the case for several years now, this is a tough league. There are very few easy fixtures, and in what is certain to be a one-bid affair, every game is high-stakes. It might not get the national spotlight,…
HANOVER, NH — With two weeks’ rest behind them and coming off a disastrous first half of the season, Northeastern headed up to Dartmouth for the Ledyard Classic with a chance to turn things around and look towards the spring with fresh eyes. However, it was the same old story the Huskies have been writing…
Editor’s Note: The following is a transcript taken from part of WRBB Sports’ recent interview with Northeastern Athletic Director Jim Madigan. You can listen to the full 40-minute interview as a podcast on The Northeastern Hockey Show or Hockey East This Week feeds, which is available on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. The following questions and…
For better or worse, Northeastern games have developed a script. Both teams tend to start off slowly, with the Huskies playing excellent defense while repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot on the offensive end. Then, in the second half, their offense roars to life, but the defense cracks just a bit. Eventually, the balance hangs…
There have been so many storylines and narratives about the developments of the season for Northeastern’s women’s hockey, so much so that it can get hard to understand the standing of the team at the midway point. Luckily for you, I am here to run through what we have seen from the program and give…
Can you remember the last time Northeastern men’s basketball started 8-3? If you can’t, you’re not alone. That memory would be from 1985, when a Reggie Lewis-led Huskies team started 13-2 before rolling to an ECAC championship and an eventual NCAA Tournament berth. After a first-round loss at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners, legendary…
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Northeastern coach Jerry Keefe and his team were well aware of the opportunity in front of them on Saturday. After all the frustrations throughout this lackluster first two months of the season, a victory would have marked the Huskies’ fourth win in their last five games. It would not have been…
BOSTON — There were 4.6 seconds on the clock as Colgate junior guard Kyle Carlesimo inbounded the ball to sophomore guard Jalen Cox in stride. The Raiders trailed by three points with no timeouts remaining, and had to go down the length of the floor to try to force overtime in a game in which…
BOSTON – After a disappointing 5-3 loss on Friday against UNH, Northeastern and goaltender Cameron Whitehead looked to bounce back just 24-hours later in a non-conference tilt against Brown. The Huskies jumped out to a 4-0 lead, before holding on to beat the Bears 4-3. There have been multiple weekends this season where the Huskies…
BOSTON — New Hampshire came back in town for a showdown with the Northeastern on Friday night. The Huskies came into the game having won their last two contests, and were looking to inch closer to an even record on the season. The Wildcats on the other hand came into the matchup looking to continue…
DURHAM, NH – It was a back-and-forth battle between the Wildcats and the Huskies, but on the backs of their strong defensive system and another stellar night from Lisa Jönsson, Northeastern prevailed with a 2-0 victory at the Whittemore Center. Coming off a 3-0 home loss to rival BC on Saturday, the Huskies looked to…
BOSTON — There’s an old saying in sports: the best ability is availability. For a variety of reasons, Northeastern has been unable to harness that ability through the first eight games of their season. Extended absences for Masai Troutman, William Kermoury, and Alex Nwagha among others, had resulted in some incomplete performances even as the…
BOSTON — Northeastern welcomed the Bentley Falcons to Historic Matthews Arena for a matinee Sunday. The Huskies came into the game riding the momentum of a huge 4-2 win over rival Boston College on November 23rd, while the Falcons came into the contest on a four-game win streak, consisting of two series sweeps of AIC…
BOSTON – On a freezing cold night in Boston, inside Matthews Arena the Northeastern offense was equally as cold as the chilly temperatures in a 3-0 loss Saturday. A combination of strong goaltending from Boston College’s Grace Campbell, and the Huskies inability to capitalize on both the power play, and on grade-A opportunities, spelled the…
BOSTON – The energy in Matthews Arena was palpable from start to finish on Saturday night as Northeastern took down No. 3 Boston College in their most impressive display this season. Following Friday’s 3-0 shutout loss to BC, the Huskies came out hot on Saturday with three goals in the first period alone, ultimately leading…
CHESTNUT HILL — As Boston College sophomore Ryan Leonard scooped up the puck in the neutral zone with nothing but open ice ahead of him, practically all of the 7,884 spectators at Conte Forum rose to their feet in anticipation. They knew exactly what was coming. Sure enough, Leonard took a few strides with the…
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,…
MONCTON, CANADA — Occasionally, you have to be a cockroach to withstand the landscape of mid-major college basketball. They say that cockroaches are one of the only animals capable of surviving a nuclear bomb; how that’s possible for such a small, unsightly animal is beyond me, but that’s besides the point. Good mid-major basketball programs…
BOSTON – Following a close 2-1 victory over Maine on Friday night, Northeastern finished the sweep against Maine with a 2-0 shutout on Saturday afternoon. It’s the team’s second sweep in a row following their two impressive victories over UConn last weekend. Freshman goalie Lisa Jönsson started once again, and further proved her ability to…
BOSTON — As Cristophe Tellier buried the rebound past the diving reach of UNH goalie Jacob Whale, you could practically feel the weight lifted from Northeastern’s bench.

BOSTON — Revenge was not to be for Northeastern.

The two games featured 14 penalties, two overtime game-winners, and 122 minutes of intense Hockey East play — but…
BOSTON — If there’s one takeaway from Northeastern’s season so far it’s this: a record never paints the full picture.

Coming off back-to-back losses, Northeastern traveled south to TU Arena for a Thursday night clash with second-place Towson.

BOSTON — The first of two top-10 matchups for Northeastern this week ended pretty well for the team from Huntington Ave. For a second time this month, the Huskies faced off against No. 3 Boston University, looking to build on their encouraging weekend sweep of Merrimack with a statement win against the Terriers.

BOSTON — After a dominant 4-0 win over Merrimack Friday night, the Huskies returned home Saturday to complete the sweep of the Warriors in goaltender Paige Taborski’s first career start at Matthews Arena.

BOSTON — Making history is nothing new for Northeastern women’s hockey. Six-straight Hockey East championship titles. Three consecutive Frozen Four appearances.

However, on Tuesday night, nothing seemed more special than…
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 Huskies came into Saturday’s stand-alone match against the No. 12 UMass Minutemen with a chip on their shoulder, seeking revenge after a 2-1 OT loss back in November.

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.

BOSTON — There was no way around it: Northeastern’s season was teetering on the brink headed into Saturday.

The Huskies…

At the end of December 2022, Northeastern had just capped off an ugly 1-4-0 post-Thanksgiving stretch, with their only win coming in overtime after they coughed up a 3-0 lead to LIU.

By Khalin Kapoor and Jack Sinclair When junior infielder Luke Beckstein delivered a two-run single on Sunday afternoon against Monmouth to put the Huskies up 5-4 in the top of the eighth inning, it capped off another gritty victory for Northeastern in a season that has been full of them. Northeastern ended up defeating the…
Northeastern faced another midweek opponent in the Rhode Island Rams, returning to Friedman Diamond less than 24 hours after defeating Central Connecticut Sophomore Hayden Smith made his first career start as a Husky, and was shaky. A solo home run off the bat of sophomore Eric Genther got the scoring started for the Rams, and…
Following a three-game sweep of Hartford the past weekend, Northeastern set their sights on their next midweek opponent: Central Connecticut State. Each squad looked to extend a winning streak — Northeastern had won five in a row, white CCSU had won an impressive ten in a row, including a massive 20-2 win over Norfolk State…
BROOKLINE — When the postscript of Northeastern’s 2023 season is written — a tale they hope will include a CAA title and a deep NCAA Tournament run — Sunday’s doubleheader against Hartford will likely be among the many games that go unnoticed in a long season. Hartford, playing their last season of Division I baseball…
After a series win against NC A&T last weekend, the Huskies enthusiastically came to Friedman Diamond to face their first ranked opponent, which sits at No. 16, Boston College.

We’ll be updating this page as news breaks all offseason long, so make sure to check back here for the very latest.…
Story by Jack Sinclair and Justin Diament BROOKLINE — Although it wasn’t by design, Northeastern hosted a conference rival in their home opener at Friedman Diamond. They were originally scheduled to play Bryant on Tuesday, March 14, but weather saw that matchup postponed. Instead, the Huskies hosted NC A&T in their first home game of…
DULUTH, Minn. — Northeastern knew it would face its toughest opponent yet in the top-seeded Ohio State University, as they hunted for an upset to reach the NCAA finals. Ultimately, OSU outplayed Northeastern in every aspect of gameplay, easily routing the Huskies 3-0 and marking the Buckeyes’ second consecutive championship appearance. The game was in…
Riding high from their recent win over No. 4 Yale, No. 5 seeded Northeastern will make their third consecutive Frozen Four appearance Friday against the top-ranked team in the nation, Ohio State. The Buckeyes have maintained their No. 1 ranking since late November, and shape up to be Northeastern’s toughest opponent this season on paper.…
After an underwhelming 2022 regular season, Northeastern hit their stride in the playoffs and came inches away from winning the CAA tournament. Ultimately, a walk-off hit-by-pitch would be the dagger in the Huskies’ championship hopes, as they barely missed out on the conference title, held now by the Hofstra Pride. Since then, there have been…
Story by Jack Sinclair and Khalin Kapoor In their first taste of conference play this year, Northeastern was handed a series loss on the road by Elon at Latham Park. The Huskies won 6-2 on Friday behind a dominant outing from junior right-handed starter Wyatt Scotti, who spun seven innings of two-run ball while striking…
BOSTON — It was a season where Northeastern was perfectly positioned to dominate. With one of the most talented rosters on paper in the conference, sky-high expectations, and a second half of the season that was much better than the first, the Huskies were primed for success entering the postseason. However, Northeastern was unable to…
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — After steamrolling through the regular season Hockey East slate, Northeastern proved they belong in the upper echelon of women’s hockey nationally with their definitive 4-1 against Yale in the NCAA quarterfinals on Saturday. The matchup was a perfect example of the level of spectacular hockey played between two of the best…
By Emma Sullivan and Khalin Kapoor At last, the dance has begun. For the sixth straight season, Northeastern is looking to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. This year’s bracket is stacked, and the No. 5 Huskies will travel down to New Haven, Connecticut, to face off against No. 4 Yale on Saturday.…
For every team that falls just short of the NCAA tournament, there are a handful of isolated moments throughout the season that can be pinpointed as “what-ifs.” And should the Huskies fail to qualify for this year’s big dance — now on the wrong side of the bubble, Northeastern will likely need to win the…
With cold weather still plaguing its home, Northeastern continued its tour of the South with a three-game series against the South Florida Bulls. Following last weekend’s sweep of the Indiana State Sycamores, the Huskies looked to maintain their red-hot start to the season. In their final nonconference series before CAA games begin, Northeastern faced their…
BOSTON — When it comes to Northeastern’s men’s hockey team, you have to expect the unexpected. And no part of the Huskies’ senior night game could have been anticipated. When the Huskies hosted UMass Lowell in Matthews Arena Saturday night, they faced a daunting task; Northeastern had already fallen twice to the River Hawks this…
BOSTON — It was almost too perfect. In their final game at Matthews Arena, Northeastern’s graduate student top line of Chloé Aurard, Alina Müller, and Marueen Murphy led their team to a sixth-straight Hockey East championship. Murphy finished with three assists and Müller and Aurard notched a goal and an assist apiece, as the Huskies…
Northeastern entered Wednesday evening’s Hockey East Semifinal matchup the clear favorite against Boston College, riding a nineteen game winning streak and ranked fifth in the country. The Eagles had only scored one goal against Gwyneth Philips in their four previous meetings this season, giving the Huskies the edge. After a hard-fought matchup between the familiar…
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.

BOSTON — After a disappointing loss against UMass on Friday night, Northeastern returned to their winning ways in Saturday’s rematch at Matthews Arena, taking home a 4-0 win.

BOSTON — After a stunning upset over Boston University in the Hockey East playoffs opening round, Merrimack headed to Matthews Arena to take on No. 5 Northeastern in the quarterfinals. The matchup was a gritty and physical one, the Huskies ultimately coming out on top, with their 5-1 victory highlighted by an Alina Müller hat…
Northeastern’s losing streak at the Mullins Center has been extended to six years, thanks to a 3-2 UMass victory Friday night. To open the game it was all about whistles, as the two teams combined for six penalties in the first period, including three against the Minutemen in the first nine minutes alone. It started…
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…
For most of the leadup to Friday’s exhibition game between Northeastern and the Boston Red Sox, question marks surrounded whether the Huskies would be able to make the trip down to Fort Myers. Thankfully, a last-minute red eye flight to the Sunshine State would see the resumption of a time-honored tradition between two historic Boston…
To the ire of most northern college baseball programs, there is no dedicated spring training season to shake off the cobwebs of a lengthy offseason. What most programs have to do is use the early games of the season as a makeshift spring training. Using the early slots of the nonconference portion of the season…
BOSTON — Saturday was an emotional night at Matthews Arena, but one also full of happiness for the Northeastern women’s hockey team, as they won 4-0 over Boston University on home ice to finish the regular season. “Obviously excited for our seniors to send them out in their last regular season game,” said Northeastern head…
BOSTON — On an emotional day honoring two players whose time with Northeastern is coming to an end, the Huskies provided what could be a glimpse of the future in a comfortable 69-57 win over William & Mary. Prior to the game, redshirt senior forward Chris Doherty and junior forward Coleman Stucke were honored as…
BOSTON — Riding high off their recent Beanpot win, Northeastern entered Friday’s matchup with Boston University with high hopes. In their second meeting with the Terriers in under two weeks, the Huskies looked strong as ever. They exited Walter Brown Arena with an ever-growing 17-game winning streak, beating BU 5-1. The first period of play…
BOSTON — Coming off of a seven-game losing streak capped by Monday’s 36-point defeat against Charleston, Northeastern picked up a badly-needed win on their home floor over Monmouth by a final score of 77-62. After getting off to a 1-20 start on the season, the Hawks came into Thursday night’s game having won five of…
CHESTNUT HILL — It’s been said countless times that the 44th annual Beanpot tournament was Northeastern’s to lose. They had the top national ranking of the four competing schools, the highest scoring offense, a dynamic defense, and a goaltender who has been borderline unstoppable. All of that left the Huskies with high expectations put on…
BOSTON — The fans at TD Garden booed when the shootout was announced in the Beanpot Championship. But when senior captain Aidan McDonough scored and Devon Levi made the game-clinching save on Harvard star Alex Lafferiere, it was pandemonium nonetheless. After a heartbreaker of a loss in last year’s championship game against Boston University, Northeastern…
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…
To capture their fourth Beanpot title in the past five tournaments, Northeastern will have to defeat the same opponent they played arguably their worst defensive game all season against. Back on New Year’s Day, Harvard bludgeoned the Huskies in an 8-4 laugher that was every bit as ugly as the final score would indicate. The…
If you turned off the stream 10 minutes before regulation time ended, you would have missed one of the most exciting stretches of Northeastern hockey this year. The Huskies seemed to struggle for the majority of the game, which was awkwardly caught between last Monday’s thrilling Beanpot victory, and this upcoming Monday’s Beanpot Championship game.…
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,…
CHESTNUT HILL — Well that was a lot better than last year. After losing to Boston College in the Beanpot semifinals in 2022, Northeastern was looking to get back in the title game in the 44th Annual Beanpot, and back into the title game they’ll go, thanks to a 4-1 victory over Boston University at…
BOSTON — Of all 19 skaters in the Huskies’ lineup, bruising 6’4” defender Hunter McDonald is just about the last guy you’d expect to skate the length of the pond for a game-sealing score. But with Northeastern desperately trying to fend off BU at 6-on-5 in the closing seconds, it was McDonald’s poke check and…
The last time the Beanpot was played at Conte Forum, it did not go well for Northeastern. Back in 2018, the Huskies were unable to record a single win in the event, dropping the opener 5-2 to Boston College before losing out in the consolation match 4-3 against Harvard. Now in 2023, it’s no secret…
It feels like a distant memory, but the Huskies’ stunning upset loss at Bentley in late December and subsequent beatdown by Harvard on New Year’s Day was only one month ago. Then, Northeastern’s nightmarish 1-6 skid appeared to be the nail in the coffin for a once-promising season gone horribly wrong. But behind a defense…
BOSTON — What looked like a much-needed end to their three-game losing streak turned into another heartbreaking loss for Northeastern on Saturday afternoon. The Huskies appeared to have overcome a 14-point second half deficit when they were up four with just 21 seconds left and freshman guard Rashad King heading to the free-throw line. But…
BOSTON — Riding a five-game winning streak, Northeastern looked to extend their 2023 momentum facing UConn at home Friday. The season series had been a tightly contested one, with Northeastern barely squeaking out a comeback victory Jan. 14. But UConn came to Matthews Arena with a chip on their shoulder and handed the home team…
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 — Chloé Aurard’s empty net, short-handed goal in the third period sealed Northeastern’s 4-1 win over New Hampshire at Matthews Arena on Thursday, and capped off an impressive two-goal showing for the Huskies’ graduate student forward. “We focused on getting it out of the zone first because obviously it’s a 6-on-4, so we couldn’t…
BOSTON — In a messy Tuesday night competition at Matthews Arena, the Huskies stumbled their way to a 2-1 victory over the Boston College Eagles, the first time they’ve defeated the local rival in regulation this season. Northeastern came into the game on a four game win streak, and used their momentum to hand the…
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 — Alina Müller is the all-time leading point scorer in Hockey East history. Northeastern can finish no worse than first in conference play by the conclusion of the regular season for a fifth-straight season. In other words, it was just another Friday night at Matthews arena for a Huskies program that has seen so…
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…
BOSTON — After the previous night’s rout of No. 11 Merrimack at Lawler Rink, Northeastern proved their second-half resurgence was for real. But on Saturday, in their first game at Matthews Arena in 62 days, the Huskies also proved something else required of NCAA-tournament caliber teams: Even while not at their best, they found a…
BOSTON — It just wasn’t Northeastern’s afternoon. The Huskies hung with the No.18 Charleston Cougars for about 13 minutes and trailed by just one possession with seven minutes remaining in the first half. However, poor shooting across the board for Northeastern prevented them from continuing to race the powerful Charleston offense. By halftime, the deficit…
With back-to-back wins over UConn in the past two weeks, Northeastern had successfully emerged from their lowest valley and breathed new life into their struggle-filled season. But the Huskies still had much to prove headed into a pivotal weekend series against Merrimack, with both Pairwise positioning and first place in the Hockey East standings up…
NORTH ANDOVER — For the first time this semester, Northeastern hit the road, taking a short trip up to Merrimack in the first leg of their double-travel weekend. With Northeastern already defeating the Warriors twice this season — and only falling to them once in program history — the Huskies were heavily favored to win.…
In the massive mire of mid-major men’s basketball, matchups between middle-of-the-pack teams come to define seasons. On Thursday, two teams squarely in the middle of the CAA, Northeastern and Stony Brook, found themselves in a head-to-head matchup with each team sharing similar conference records thus far: The Huskies arrived on Long Island with a 3-3…
BOSTON — It was starting to feel like déjà vu for Northeastern on Monday night. Two days after falling into a double-digit deficit midway through the first half against Drexel, the Huskies again found themselves in an early hole on Monday, this time trailing by as many as 16 points to a Delaware team that…
BOSTON — Northeastern faced off against Maine in a dramatic showdown at Historic Matthews Arena on Saturday night. The Huskies, riding an eight-game winning streak and coming off a gritty overtime win over Boston College Friday night, were looking to continue their dominance on home ice, while the Black Bears were looking to break out…
BOSTON — There were very few moments of excitement for Northeastern in their 76-55 loss to Drexel at historic Matthews Arena on Saturday afternoon. The 21-point loss is the Huskies’ second-worst home loss since 2011, with the worst one coming last season to Hofstra, when the Pride earned a 72-50 victory in Boston. The Huskies…
BOSTON — After sweeping their series with Boston College earlier in the season, Northeastern had their sights set on a perfect record for the year against the Eagles. The only problem was that it meant getting by graduate student goalie Abigail Levy. And Levy was fully committed to making the Huskies work for their victory. …
Northeastern started the second half of Hockey East play strong with an explosive win at Fenway Park on Saturday against UConn. Though it was an underwhelming first half for the Huskies, who entered the season ranked 8th nationally and Hockey East favorites, the team has shown signs recently that they can pull the pieces back…
BOSTON — After a month-long break, Northeastern took to the ice at Matthews Arena revived and energized to take on cross-town rival Boston University. With the Terriers fresh off a tough loss to Holy Cross at Frozen Fenway and the No. 7 Huskies carrying a six-game win streak into the matchup, the home team was…
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 — Sighs of relief could be heard across Fenway Park as Northeastern secured the 4-1 win over UConn on Saturday, their first regulation victory since Nov. 18. The Huskies, who entered Saturday 1-7 in the past eight games, have struggled to stay out of the box especially due to after the whistle penalties. To…
In their last matchup, Northeastern suffered a 4-1 loss against UConn in the Hockey East Semifinal game at TD Garden. Now, in one of the most anticipated games of the year, Northeastern looks for revenge at Fenway Park. This isn’t the first appearance outdoors for Northeastern. At the last Frozen Fenway event held in 2017,…
Northeastern surged back from large deficits multiple times, but in the end could not find the consistency they needed. The Huskies wound up on the wrong end of a 69-66 defeat against William & Mary on Thursday night. The two squads had similar records, with William & Mary coming in at 5-9 and Northeastern at…
CAMBRIDGE — Despite the best offensive performance Northeastern has mustered against a top-10 team, poor defense and a third period collapse led to the Huskies’ 8-4 defeat by Harvard. The Crimson started the season 4-0 at home before eight away games, and in their Sunday afternoon homecoming, retained a perfect record at Bright-Landry. Northeastern is…
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…
BOSTON — Last week the Northeastern Huskies were dubbed the “Heart Attack Huskies” after holding on for a three-point win over NC A&T. This week they’re certainly the “Heartbreak Huskies” following their 65-61 loss to Stony Brook on Saturday afternoon in Matthews Arena. 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. For the Huskies, this should have been one of the easiest matchups on their remaining schedule. Entering this game, the Falcons were 4-13 overall, ranked 58th of 62 nationally in the Pairwise…
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. The Huskies just flat out haven’t put together a complete 40 minutes of play in any of their games so…
On the heels of a hard-fought season that left Northeastern at the top of Hockey East by just one point, the Huskies fell to Western Michigan in an overtime loss in the NCAA tournament March, drawing their 2021-22 season to a close. The end of any season is devastating, but the Huskies’ defeat marked the…
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…
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. Despite taking the loss, the Crusaders battled hard, falling in a 59-58 thriller. Northeastern came out of the gates flat, failing to score on four…
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…
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 — After losing yet another game to Georgia Tech, the Huskies were desperate to get back in the win column. Back in Matthews Arena after a four-game road trip, Northeastern faced Georgia State, a Sun Belt team that had gone 5-3 entering Sunday’s game. The Huskies got off to an early nine-point run and…
Schenectady, NY — In a non-conference meeting billed as a must-win, Northeastern instead fell flat on Saturday, suffering a backbreaking 3-2 defeat to Union. Former Husky netminder Connor Murphy, now in his second season with the Dutchmen, dominated in his first meeting against his old team. For Northeastern, a middling Union squad presented a golden…
BOSTON — The first semester of play came to a close on Saturday, as Northeastern took on Vermont for the second game of the weekend series. The Huskies ended up sweeping the two contests with the 13th-ranked team in the nation, capping off their strong first half of the season with a 5-1 victory. In…
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.

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. The Huskies returned to their home arena after winning last week’s Smashville Showcase in Nashville, defeating top-15 opponents Princeton and…
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…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Northeastern’s trip down to the Music City was, in short, a smash hit. After beating Princeton Friday afternoon, the Huskies finished off an Ivy League sweep by defeating No. 9 Cornell, 5-1, Saturday afternoon behind two goals apiece from Alina Müller and Skylar Irving to win the Smashville Showcase. For the Huskies,…
American Thanksgiving festivities didn’t slow down Northeastern as they opened the 2022 Smashville Showcase with a win over Princeton on Friday afternoon. Coming into the game, both the Huskies and Tigers were ranked in the top-15 nationally, Northeastern at No. 8 while Princeton sits at No. 14. It was the teams first matchup since Thanksgiving…
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…
WORCESTER — After Northeastern’s hotly-contested 2-1 victory over Holy Cross on Friday night came down to the wire, they were due for an outburst in Saturday’s rematch. The Huskies delivered a full, 60-minute performance at the Hart Center on Saturday, notching a 5-2 win behind an explosive offense. The Huskies started off hot with a…
BOSTON — This time around, there were no buzzer-beaters, miracles, or late-game heroics for Northeastern. Boston University’s Lane Hutson delivered the game-winner on Saturday, sealing a 4-3 overtime victory for the Terriers in front of Northeastern’s largest home crowd of the year. The Huskies had a third period lead, but couldn’t hold on late against…
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — In the ninth-ever contest between the Northeastern men’s basketball team and Syracuse, it initially appeared as if the Huskies could down the Orange for the first time ever. In the end, however, Jim Boeheim’s squad outmatched the Huskies pups 76-48 who were undermanned coming into the matchup and were mightily outshot in…
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…
BOSTON — On the heels of a disappointing 3-0 loss to Providence College on Tuesday, Northeastern rallied back to pull off a much-needed win over visiting Holy Cross in Matthews Arena on Friday night. With some of the Huskies’ top players out of the lineup, the game was an opportunity for the newer and younger…
BOSTON — After last weekend’s disappointing home-and-home series against Boston College, Northeastern was desperate for a win. And with both the captain, senior forward Aidan McDonough, and assistant captain, senior defender Jayden Struble, suspended on the heels of Saturday’s chippy contest, the Huskies faced an uphill battle against a red-hot Boston University squad Friday evening. Thanks to…
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. In the opener, the Huskies defended a one-point lead to prevail over the Terriers, and in Northeastern’s third matchup, Boston College halted the…
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Northeastern was held scoreless by Providence in their Tuesday night matchup at Schneider Arena. It was the third meeting between the sides in under three weeks, and was a physical and defensive battle that Providence took the edge in up and down the ice. The Friars dressed seven defenders and 11 forwards…
CHESTNUT HILL — It felt like a different lifetime, but it was only 24 hours since Cam Lund’s buzzer-beating score sent Matthews Arena into a frenzy, and capped off a Northeastern comeback for the ages. Lund’s stunning heroics on Friday gave Northeastern a defining victory and big momentum boost headed into Saturday’s rematch with Boston…
CHESTNUT HILL — For the second straight game, Northeastern shut out Boston College, winning 2-0 on Saturday to secure the weekend sweep. The Huskies were powered by their top line once again, with graduate student forward Alina Müller and senior forward Katy Knoll both lighting the lamp. “It’s always nice to beat them for sure,”…
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…
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,…
ALLSTON, Mass. — In the 150th matchup between the Northeastern men’s basketball team and the Boston University Terriers, BU won 72-63, tying up the all-time series at 75 wins a piece. The Terriers were fueled by graduate Guard Walter Whyte who starred in his season debut. Whyte scorched the Huskies for a career high 27…
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…
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. The match began with an unlikely pairing, a No. 3 seeded Northeastern squad vs No.8 Hofstra. It ended with the Pride defeating the Huskies in the finals for…
Durham, N.H. — Northeastern dominated their Friday night matchup against New Hampshire, tallying five goals while shutting out UNH. The defense from the forecheck to the penalty kill was outstanding for the Huskies, and didn’t allow UNH to have momentum in the matchup. 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 — 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?
