BROOKLINE — It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend for Northeastern baseball. Playing their fourth game in three days, the Huskies have felt the highest of highs in a 12-inning walkoff win Friday and the lowest of lows with yesterday’s shutout loss to the Maine Black Bears. They’re back on the up-and-up, though, after a…
BROOKLINE – Six scoreless innings from redshirt junior Jason Krieger made all the difference Saturday afternoon, powering Maine to a 5-0 victory at Friedman Diamond. Freshman first baseman Hunter St. Denis drove in four runs across three hits, interrupting a pitchers’ duel between Krieger and Northeastern’s senior right-hander Luc Rising. Both teams struggled to generate…
BROOKLINE — In the middle of the fourth inning, most viewers of Northeastern’s Friday afternoon matchup with Merrimack would have turned the TV off. After a complete collapse on the pitcher’s mound, the Huskies found themselves trailing the visiting Warriors by seven. But in a resilient comeback effort that pushed the game into extra innings,…
BOSTON — Starting pitcher Andrew Basel gave the Huskies five strong innings and Harvard’s pitching staff gifted a struggling Northeastern offense free pass after free pass as the reigning Baseball Beanpot champions advanced to the championship game for the third consecutive year. On a frigid April afternoon, offensive firepower was at a premium. The two…
BROOKLINE — Saturday afternoon, the Huskies got set for the third game of a weekend series against Monmouth, and it was a crucial contest for both teams. Neck-and-neck at the top of the CAA North, a win on Saturday would mean a huge boost in the conference standings and give one team the advantage if…
BROOKLINE — The Huskies strode to a disappointing finish in the second game of their weekend series against Monmouth Friday afternoon. Despite an early lead and a handful of two-out rallies, Northeastern couldn’t claw its way back from a mid-game Monmouth push and trudged its way to an 8-6 loss. “Put it on the list…
Jacob Oshinsky/WRBB Sports File BROOKLINE — After a 21-5 seven-inning loss to UConn on Tuesday, Mike Glavine called for a “reset” entering a weekend CAA series with Monmouth, the conference’s top team. Northeastern delivered on that call and followed a 0-for-8 RISP effort on Tuesday with a 4-for-9 showing en route to a 7–1 win…
Eva Ciolek Passeri/WRBB Sports BROOKLINE — Off the heels of the program’s first CAA series loss in two seasons, Northeastern returned home to Friedman Diamond for a midweek tilt with UConn. Despite playing a shortened seven-inning game, the final out arrived over three and a half hours after first pitch in a 21-5 UConn triumph.…
BROOKLINE — In weather far less than optimal for baseball, Northeastern rallied to defeat the Elon University Phoenix 17-7 in a lengthy eight innings. Led by Carmelo Musacchia and Ryan Gerety, the Huskies’ bats put on a show dominating in almost every offensive category. Both athletes went 3-for-5 on the afternoon with Musacchia ending his day…
BROOKLINE — Coming off a 17-5 run rule win the day before, the Huskies’ bats looked for more of the same on a beautiful 50°F day with limited wind at Friedman Diamond. On the mound, Northeastern handed the ball to senior transfer Luc Rising. Having pitched six innings in each of his last two starts,…
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Northeastern head coach Dave Flint knew that his team would need to play “near flawless” to advance past No. 1 Ohio State. But for every question the Huskies asked, Ohio State had every answer, and then some. It was not the outing that Northeastern wanted, as an early first-period collapse proved…
Jacob Oshinsky/WRBB Sports File BROOKLINE — Following Northeastern’s first home loss in 361 days against Merrimack College on Tuesday, head coach Mike Glavine wanted more from his top four hitters. “It starts with the older guys,” he said. “You got to get [Ryan] Gerety, [Harrison] Feinberg, [Carmelo] Musacchia, and [Matt] Brinker going.” The quartet mustered…
BROOKLINE — Exiting the game in the seventh inning with just one earned run to his name, Northeastern’s starter senior Ryan Griffin received an applause from the Friedman faithful. On a day where the offense struggled, a lengthy start from Griffin came at the perfect time. Though he only threw 53 percent of his pitches…
AMHERST — Northeastern’s volatile season came to an end Saturday night with a 4-1 loss to No. 15 Massachusetts in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. Despite matching their production for most of the game, the seventh-seeded Huskies were not able to overcome the second-seeded Minutemen, led by Hockey East Goaltender of the Year Michael Hrabal. Northeastern…
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — It’s been a while since we’ve seen Northeastern play a game west of the Mississippi. We’ll have to wait a bit longer, as Ridder Arena rests just half a mile east of the river. Still, the trek to the Midwest was a new one for most of the Huskies roster, and the…
BROOKLINE — With Jon Pardi’s “Mr. Saturday Night” blaring over the Friedman Diamond speakers pregame, the stage was set for a pitchers’ duel between junior right-hander Luc Rising and Towson’s own Liam Diehl, the two squads’ regular Saturday starters. All it took from Northeastern was three runs and a quality start from Rising to earn…
BROOKLINE — Friday afternoon, the Huskies hosted Towson for their first home game of the season at Friedman Diamond and earned a decisive 6-3 win in the first of a three-game set. Junior righty Robbie O’Connor picked up the win, powered by Eric Cha scoring two runs late to lift the Huskies over the Tigers. …
Facing the last-place team in the conference to start their postseason campaign, Northeastern put up one of its worst offensive efforts of the season at the worst possible time, suffering a 51-50 loss to UNCW that knocked the Huskies out of the CAA Tournament just as it was getting started. Northeastern shot just 21-for-66 (32%)…
STORRS, Conn. — It felt like déjà vu: in Storrs, Connecticut, with the Hockey East Championship on the line, an overtime heartbreaker from UConn put a sudden-death finish to an electric competition, and Northeastern fell just short of a seventh conference tournament title, 2-1. In 2024, it was Megan Woodworth with the deflection in the…
BOSTON — After 29 games and constant lineup changes, Northeastern concluded its regular season at 6-23 with a suspenseful loss against the Monmouth Hawks. The Huskies showed strength in their offensive attacks, building momentum in the first half and showing signs of life in the second, despite being without leading scorer junior William Kermoury. However,…
BATON ROUGE, La. — After four hours of hard-fought baseball in Death Valley, Northeastern shocked both the No. 2 ranked Tigers and the collegiate sports world, as they took down the defending national champions 13-10 on their home dirt. The Huskies came into the weekend in Louisiana still seeking their first win of the season.…
BATON ROUGE, LA. — On Sunday, the Huskies returned to Alex Box Stadium with a statement to make after dropping a winnable game the day prior. However, in rare fashion, the arms and the bats aligned leading to a 10-0 victory for Northeastern over Grambling. Northeastern set the tone for this game early by causing…
BOSTON — After leading for the first 32 minutes of play, the Huskies fell apart in the final quarter, dropping their fourth game in a row, this time to the Hampton Lady Pirates. Similar to Northeastern, the Lady Pirates entered today’s game on a losing skid of their own, losing their last seven and going…
BOSTON — Dave Flint had seen this film before. He usually hadn’t come to like the ending. Locked at the end of regulation, Northeastern faced overtime against Boston University, a scenario that had already decided two recent high-stakes meetings between the teams. Winless in the prior two occasions — last season’s Hockey East championship game…
LOWELL — Northeastern entered Saturday night’s contest short-handed and short on margin for error. By the time the final horn sounded, the result reflected just how thin that margin was. Despite an early lead and a strong push late, all that work was undone by a disastrous middle frame that flipped the game on its…
BATON ROUGE — Day two in the Bayou did not result in the Huskies’ second win of the season, but in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to No. 2 Louisiana State, Northeastern showed the ability to at least compete neck-and-neck with the nation’s best. However, they still just have one win on the year, and as much…
BATON ROUGE, La. – After an upsetting first two weekends of the season, going 0-for-3 in the MLB Desert Invitational and then getting swept by Minnesota in Florida, the Northeastern Huskies pulled through in their first of four games in Louisiana. With more refined pitching and a continuous offensive effort, the Huskies grabbed their first…
After their 18-3 decimation by the Red Sox on Friday, the Huskies (0-5) stayed in Fort Myers, traveling across town to take on the University of Minnesota (5-1) at the Twins’ spring training facility. But the Golden Gophers — who had been brought down by their MLB opponent 10-3 on Friday — didn’t take it…
LOWELL — After splitting the series against No. 6 Providence last weekend without the help of their top point producer, Dylan Hryckowian, Northeastern had to go into their series against UMass Lowell without another important contributor, as freshman forward Jacob Mathieu was also out of the lineup this weekend. This left Northeastern, who had only…
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — If you had to describe Northeastern’s weekend in one word, it would be resiliency. There aren’t many teams in college hockey that could start a game down 2-0 after the first minute and fight back to a convincing two-goal victory, let alone being down a full offensive line, with three top-six players…
STORRS, CT — Facing a thinned lineup and one of the toughest road environments in the conference, Northeastern found a way to win once again. Behind timely goals, a steady performance from goaltender Lisa Jönsson, and an overtime bounce earned through pressure, Northeastern edged UConn 3-2 in overtime, completing a season sweep for the second…
LOWELL — After splitting a two-game set with No. 6 Providence, Northeastern traveled north to face a scrappy UMass Lowell team fresh off a sweep of Vermont. Behind a perfect 33-save night from senior netminder Lawton Zacher, the Huskies earned a gritty 2-0 road victory nearly three hours after the opening faceoff. Friday presented an…
BOSTON — After losing six in a row, most recently to the top-seeded College of Charleston Cougars on Friday night and sat at the bottom of the CAA standings, the Huskies had their work cut out for them on a Sunday afternoon in the Cabot Center against second-in-conference Stony Brook. Coming into the preseason poll…
WALTHAM — The Northeastern women’s hockey team is battered, bruised, and down five skaters from their normal starting lines. With four forwards (graduate student Jaden Bogden, senior Holly Abela, junior Peyton Compton, and sophomore Éloïse Caron) out due to injury and freshman defender Alessia Baechler at the Olympics representing Switzerland, the Huskies took on crosstown…
Jacob Oshinsky/WRBB Sports File PHOENIX, Ariz. — The 2026 MLB Desert Invitational did not go Northeastern’s way. That’s putting it lightly. On Sunday, Mike Glavine had one goal for his team: bounce back and salvage a win against a second-consecutive Power Four opponent in Iowa. Just under four hours after first pitch, and 26 free…
Jacob Oshinsky/WRBB Sports File PHOENIX, Ariz. — After a run-rule loss Friday to open the 2026 season, Northeastern had 24 hours to regroup and meet a strong Nebraska team at Sloan Park in game two of the MLB Desert Invitational.

BOSTON — In a game that the final tally only partially told the story of, the Northeastern Huskies rode third-line effectiveness and a timely offensive push past crosstown rival Boston University, earning a 5–2 victory in a matchup where BU never quit but Northeastern ultimately pulled away. From the opening puck drop at Walter Brown…
Jacob Oshinsky/WRBB Sports File PHOENIX, Ariz. — Put simply, the 2026 college baseball season did not start Northeastern’s way. After a 257-day offseason, head coach Mike Glavine’s Huskies escaped the cold and welcomed the new campaign at Grand Canyon University in game one of the MLB Desert Invitational. Two hours and three minutes later, the…
PROVIDENCE, RI — Monday afternoon’s loss to yet another lesser opponent (Harvard) in the Beanpot consolation game was the dagger in Northeastern’s season, or so many thought. The Huskies were cast off and pronounced dead by many in the college hockey community, particularly the hosts of WRBB Sports’ Hockey East This Week radio show. However,…
BOSTON — Save for a five-minute spurt to open the second half, Northeastern was dominated by William & Mary’s offense wire to wire Thursday night at the Cabot Center, falling by a score of 94-67 in the team’s biggest margin of defeat since February 2023. The Tribe came into the contest employing the seventh-fastest tempo…

With how absurd Northeastern’s pitching staff was in 2025, it would’ve been easy to miss just how good the offense actually was.

BOSTON — Third-place games can be a little deflating, especially when they’re being played in front of a sparsely populated crowd at the cavernous TD Garden. But for a Northeastern team in the midst of one of their worst stretches in years, these types of games can serve as a chance to right the ship…
BOSTON — Inside the unfamiliar confines of Walter Brown Arena, the Northeastern Huskies hosted the University of Maine Black Bears Thursday night. The Huskies proved why they are the top Hockey East team, ranked fifth in the nation, by putting on an impressive performance. The Huskies claimed a well-executed victory in a 5-1 penalty-ridden blowout…
WALTHAM — From the opening faceoff Friday night against No. 12 University of Connecticut, Northeastern was a step behind. Connecticut dictated the pace, controlling possession, winning battles, and preventing Northeastern from generating any sustained offensive pressure in a game that never truly tilted back the other way. Northeastern’s offensive struggles continued, failing to score in…
Northeastern women’s hockey had been playing at Matthews Arena since before there was even a Northeastern women’s hockey team. It spent its first two full seasons there as a non-varsity club from 1978 to 1980. However, before the club was even established, Chris Yannetty and Donna Sorrentino, the eventual founding team captains, organized a scrimmage…
BOSTON – In December, Boston University played spoiler as they roared back from a late deficit to take down Northeastern in Matthews Arena’s final hurrah. On Monday, those same Terriers shattered Northeastern’s dreams of breathing life into a rapidly dying season with a Beanpot championship, knocking the Huskies out in a dramatic shootout victory. This…
BOSTON — Drexel junior guard Laine McGurk dropped 24 points and graduate student guard Amaris Baker added 21 as the Dragons extended their winning streak to five games in a 65-56 victory over Northeastern at the Cabot Center Sunday afternoon.

WORCESTER — After earning the extra point from a 2–2 tie with a shootout win Thursday in Boston, No. 6 Northeastern traveled west down the I-90 for the back half of a home-and-home twirl with No. 13 Holy Cross. Behind two power-play goals against the nation’s top-ranked penalty kill, the Huskies earned a 2–1 win…
BOSTON – Northeastern held a two-point halftime lead, but a dominant second-half performance from College of Charleston graduate guard Jlynn Counter and a staggering free-throw disparity helped the Cougars, one of the top teams in the CAA, pull away for an 89-84 victory in a packed Cabot Center. “That’s a really good basketball team, and…
AMHERST, Mass. — Northeastern did just about everything needed to win on Friday night at the Mullins Center except finish chances, and it cost them in the end. Despite outshooting UMass 44-27 and generating wave after wave of quality looks, the Huskies fell 3-2 in overtime after a defensive breakdown allowed freshman forward Justin Kerr…
BOSTON — The No. 5 Northeastern Huskies were on a winning streak going into tonight’s matchup against the No. 14 Holy Cross Crusaders after sweeping a series against No. 7 UConn last weekend. The Crusaders, however, proved to be a formidable opponent, building a 2-0 lead that the Huskies had to crawl back from to…
It’s Fall 1981, in a White Hall dorm room. Jim Madigan wakes up for his very first collegiate home game playing at the historic Matthews Arena. He’s a 19-year-old freshman with no idea of the career at Northeastern University that lies ahead of him. Fast forward 44 years. Madigan, now 63, sits in his office…
STORRS, Conn. — After Friday night’s 4-2 win over UConn, Northeastern was bound to face a tough challenge in their Saturday matinee rematch. This challenge, in the form of 45 shots on goal, was not enough for UConn to find the back of the net, as Northeastern secured a 1-0 victory off the stick of…
STORRS, Conn. — An impromptu game night due to impending severe weather brought the Northeastern Huskies to Toscano Family Ice Forum, home of the University of Connecticut Huskies, a day early. Despite minimal time to get ready following Tuesday’s Beanpot consolation, Northeastern was certainly prepared as they created their own storm of offense to take…
NORTH ANDOVER — Northeastern’s 2026 can largely be described as one step forward, two steps back. Last weekend’s series sweep against UNH was that step forward for a Huskies roster that had been on a five-game slide heading into the slate. But after a set of away bouts in North Andover, that progress in the…
BOSTON — When graduate student forward Haris Elezovic drained a jumper to level the score at 52 apiece, Cabot Center roared as the Huskies drew level for the first time since tip-off. But when the final buzzer sounded, Northeastern dribbled out the clock in defeat, falling 95-80 to CAA foe Stony Brook in a spirited…
BOSTON — If you asked anyone heading into the Beanpot semifinals last Tuesday who they’d expect to see in the primetime matchup at TD Garden the following week, most responses would have included Northeastern in their answer. The first round of the women’s Beanpot, however, did not go the way the Huskies intended. That did…
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. — Despite having the same starting lineup as their previous game, the Huskies fell short of generating another hard-fought win in a morning match against the Monmouth Hawks.

BOSTON, MA —- Northeastern made the short trip to BU’s Walter Brown Arena to host the University of New Hampshire in one of several neutral site home games this semester.

DURHAM, NH — No. 7 Northeastern held on for a 2-1 win over New Hampshire, surviving a late push to grind out a much-needed victory.

BURLINGTON, V.T. —The team that started the season playing so comfortably, gaining a lead and maintaining it handily as the clock ticked down, is nowhere to be seen. Now, in the late throes of their matchups, the Huskies falter, losing games in the waning minutes. After a hard-fought battle against the University of Vermont Catamounts…
BURLINGTON, VT — Following the 5-2 loss in West Point to an unranked Army squad, Northeastern Head Coach Jerry Keefe told reporters that the team was “desperate,” so one could reasonably expect a fiery response the next time out, right? Fast forward one week, and those same Huskies found themselves again on the road playing…
BOSTON – As Nolan Hodge strode up to the line, his 80% free throw percentage in tow, the energy crammed into the intimate Cabot Center began to dissipate.

NEW HAVEN, CONN — Coming off a month away from the ice for the winter break, No. 6 ranked Northeastern hoped to get the second half of the 2025-26 campaign off on the right foot. However, Tuesday night’s bus ride back to Boston was destined to be somber and quiet after falling 3-0 to No.…
WEST POINT, N.Y. — After suffering an embarrassing loss to BU in the Matthews Arena finale to close 2025, the Northeastern men’s hockey team hoped to start the new year off strong following a three-week winter break. But like most New Year’s resolutions, that hope lasted just two short days. Friday night, Northeastern traveled to…
SYRACUSE, NY — Beating Syracuse on their home floor was always going to be a tall task for these Northeastern Huskies. The Orange’s home loss to Northeastern’s CAA foe Hofstra a week before showed that it was possible, however. And, to their credit, the Huskies looked the part for the vast majority of the game,…
BOSTON — Long before the puck dropped, it was clear this night was never going to be just about the score. Lines stretched out the doors. Alumni filled the aisles. The DogHouse stood packed and unrelenting, drowning out warmups with chants that echoed off the old wooden ceiling. For 115 years, Matthews Arena had been…
BOSTON — In a season where Northeastern has been able to win games by capitalizing on bounces that go their way, the Huskies found themselves on the opposite end in their Sunday night game against UMass. Despite getting 37 shots on net to UMass’s 16, Northeastern was shut out for the first time this season…
BOSTON — After suffering the biggest loss of the season against Holy Cross on Wednesday, the Huskies need a bounce-back performance. They got exactly that, erupting for a 73-56 victory over Central Connecticut State University in front of an energized Cabot Center crowd that hadn’t seen Northeastern men’s basketball in a decade. “It was awesome…
BOSTON — If anything blemished No. 11 Northeastern’s resurgent season, it was their winless overtime mark. Yet as Dylan Hryckowian chipped the puck ahead to himself off the half wall, chased it down on the forecheck, and snapped home an electric overtime winner past UMass netminder Michael Hrabal’s glove side, he erased that narrative. It…
One last win from Historic Matthews Arena. Three Patty Kazmaier winners. More than a dozen Olympians. Countless memories.

BOSTON – The Huskies looked lost on the floor Wednesday afternoon when facing visiting UMass Amherst.

BOSTON — The No. 6 Northeastern Huskies entered their matchup against the unranked University of New Hampshire Wildcats Tuesday night with hopes of continuing their perfect run in conference play and remaining undefeated at Matthews Arena. Although Northeastern came out of the gate strong, its hopes for a tenth straight conference victory would quickly be…
GLOUCESTER — If you asked Northeastern head coach Dave Flint if he thought the Huskies deserved to win Friday’s game, his answer would have likely been no. Saturday’s tie-up in Gloucester was a significantly better effort from the Huskies, but hockey is a funny game. And the Penn State Nittany Lions were able to capitalize…
BOSTON — Senior Night at Matthews Arena delivered the result Northeastern’s departing players deserved. Behind contributions from their veteran leaders, the No. 11 Huskies sent their seniors off with a convincing 4-1 victory over Brown Saturday evening.

ORONO, ME — Northeastern wrapped up its weekend against Maine with another strong defensive effort, taking a 2-1 win to close out the two-game set.

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 – A night for Northeastern that started off on a high, with a 3-0 lead against UConn, quickly turned into a nightmare. By the end of the night, they found themselves giving up a game-winning breakaway goal off the stick of Joey Muldowney, as UConn came out on top 4-3 in overtime to finish…
NORTH ANDOVER — Regardless of Friday’s final score of 4-1, Northeastern women’s hockey head coach Dave Flint wasn’t content with the way the Huskies performed at home.

ALLSTON, MA — As a competitive first half came to a close between the Huskies and their cross-town rival, the Harvard Crimson, senior guard LA Pratt sat on the Northeastern bench with a towel over his head and a trainer tending to his left ankle.

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.

BOSTON — The more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite a long offseason, a radically different roster, and a Matthews Arena crowd that was as loud as I’d ever heard it, the Huskies’ season opener felt oh-so-familiar. They had the lead, gave it up, rallied, and had every chance to win a…
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.

From the opening puck drop,…

Back for their last season opener in the historic Matthews Arena, the Huskies pulled off a 3-2 win over the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers.

Northeastern hockey has called historic Matthews Arena home for nearly a century, but in just over two months, the building’s 115-year tenure of service will come to a close. That leaves the Huskies with 11 autumnal home games to imprint their final mark in the barn’s fabled legacy. In a 2025-26 season that will undoubtedly…
BOSTON — Preseason is all about making improvements, and Northeastern did just that, scoring one goal in the first period, two in the second, and three in the third en route to a 6-0 demolition of the visiting Concordia Stingers.

Thursday evening, the Huskies hosted crosstown rival Boston University for the first game of the regular season.

The 2025 women’s soccer season kicks off its regular season this week, and with it, the Huskies will look to settle into a slew of off-season changes and improve on a disappointing 2024 campaign. “This is our redemption season,” said captain Maggie Cochran. “We want to have a championship season. And I think this summer…

Northeastern saw three pitchers, an outfielder, and a shortstop drafted during the two-day…

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. — “Dogs eat birds.” If you go to a hockey game between Northeastern and Boston College, you’ll hear this common chant from the Doghouse.

MONMOUTH, N.J. — “Be relentless.” Those were the words Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine gave his team pregame before they took on the Monmouth Hawks in Game One of the weekend series.

By the time Danny Crossen stepped into helping lead player development at Northeastern, he had already lived the full arc of a college baseball journey. Now, one year removed from a record-breaking senior season, he’s bringing that experience to the next generation from a different vantage point. But Crossen’s route to Northeastern wasn’t typical. In…

BUIES CREEK, NC — Northeastern came into game two of the weekend series against Campbell Saturday afternoon looking to continue the momentum from their 14-8 victory in game one and take the series.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, V.T. – 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. For most of Saturday’s contest with New Hampshire, the Huskies were plagued with many of the same issues as Friday’s 4-1 loss, which coach Jerry Keefe described as…
BOSTON — In a nail-biter of a matchup on Friday night, Northeastern battled their way to a gritty 2-1 victory over Maine. The win marked the Huskies’ third straight, after last weekend’s sweep of UConn, but it wasn’t easy as Northeastern had to overcome a slow start, a determined opponent, and a physical game that tested…
DURHAM, NH — Northeastern arrived at the Whittemore Center Friday night in a must-win situation, and once again they failed to deliver, falling 4-1 in the first of a two-game series against the Wildcats. The two teams faced a similar situation heading into the match-up: Northeastern 0-2-2 in Hockey East, UNH 0-2-1, both trying desperately…
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 – Northeastern freshman guard Ryan Williams scored a dazzling 21 points on 5-7 shooting from three-point range, as the Huskies dominated the Harvard Crimson, 78-56. Coming off of a tough loss to the Princeton Tigers on Sunday, Northeastern looked to regain their footing against Harvard Wednesday night. The Crimson came into Matthews Arena after…
BOSTON — It isn’t all that frequent that a team of Princeton’s quality ventures into Matthews Arena. On Sunday afternoon, they did. The Tigers (2-0) waltzed into Boston for the back half of a home-and-home to take on Northeastern (1-0), an early-season measuring stick game to test the Huskies’ mettle against a team with real…
BOSTON — After a back-and-forth affair resulted in a 2-2 tie Friday night, Northeastern and No. 11 Providence met for the second leg of a home-and-home series Saturday, with the Huskies hungry to pick up their first Hockey East victory of the season. In a game which featured 41 total penalty minutes, seven power-play goals,…
BOSTON — Going into a weekend series with No. 10 UConn, Northeastern hadn’t won two consecutive games all season. After a 1-0 NU win Friday, freshman goaltender Lisa Jönsson kept the pressure on UConn and led Northeastern to their first weekend sweep of the season. Senior forward Skyler Irving’s goal, just over six minutes into…
If there were concerns about any demons Northeastern might face at the Toscano Family Ice Forum, they were quickly put to bed Friday evening. A goal from Lily Shannon was the difference, and freshman Lisa Jönsson made 24 saves en route to her first NCAA shutout as the Huskies took down UConn 1-0 in the…
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…
Can’t you feel it in the air? Let me be the one to officially welcome you to the best time of year, when October gives way to November, Halloween spirit cedes to Thanksgiving fervor, and most importantly — college basketball returns. Here on Huntington Avenue, there’s a palpable buzz surrounding the 2024-25 Northeastern Huskies. It’s…
‘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…
BOSTON — It was a disappointing loss for the Northeastern women’s hockey team when they hosted UNH on Saturday afternoon, skating to a 2-0 defeat to earn yet another series split. Despite outshooting the Wildcats 30-19, the Huskies couldn’t find the back of the net. Between some bad luck hitting the post, and some fantastic…

BROOKLINE — On a beautiful fall day at Parsons Field, Northeastern battled hard with Delaware in the 2024 season finale, coming out with a 1-1 tie.

BOSTON — Cam Lund was that close to doing it again. After delivering a highlight-reel goal in the second period and playing arguably the most complete game of his career, Lund was set up perfectly by Jackson Dorrington to tap in the game-winner with three seconds left in overtime. This time, Lund’s shot fluttered just…
PROVIDENCE, RI — Northeastern’s offensive struggles prevailed once again in Friday night’s 2-1 loss to Providence at Schneider Arena. With only one game against Friars this weekend, as well as numerous series splits early in the season, this game held significance for Northeastern’s Hockey East ranking. Although the Huskies had control of the offensive zone…
BOSTON — For a Northeastern team reeling off a weekend sweep at the hands of No. 1 Denver, Friday’s Hockey East opener against No. 6 Maine provided a perfect opportunity to wash any lingering bad taste out of their mouths. Sixty minutes later, however, the bad taste hadn’t subsided; instead, it’d grown into something more…
BROOKLINE — It was all Huskies all afternoon, as Northeastern cruised to their second win in a row with a victory against Campbell on Sunday.

DENVER, Co. — After getting outclassed in a 5-2 loss to No. 1 Denver on Friday, Northeastern coach Jerry Keefe’s biggest point of emphasis to his team between games was cleaning up on details. “If we’re a good team, we’re going to learn from this and get better,” Keefe said after Friday’s blowout. And though…

DENVER, Co. — Northeastern traveled nearly 2,000 miles West to take on the defending national champions, and for 60 minutes, they experienced firsthand what makes Denver a championship-caliber team.

WORCESTER – After a weekend split with Boston University, Northeastern returned to the ice with the goal of winning for the third straight Friday in as many weeks.

Over the past eight years, Northeastern has consistently battled their way to the Hockey East Championship, navigating numerous roster changes and farewells along the way.

HAMDEN, Conn. — Though the scores won’t count for real until next weekend, Northeastern coach Jerry Keefe said his goal for Sunday’s exhibition was for the Huskies to ”get challenged.” And for the most part, Northeastern got exactly what they came for.

What’ve you done for me lately? Somewhere in the last decade, the attitude around winning shifted. Present and past success, once reveled-in, is now frequently overlooked in favor of the future. Winning a championship is nice, but can you do it again next year? And the year after? And maybe the year after that? Perhaps…

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

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.

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

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.

After a rocky start to the season, Northeastern was riding two weeks of momentum heading into Saturday night’s matchup against Brown.

TROY, N.Y. — Matt Choupani’s goal celebration said it all.

The Dirty Water Derby. A fixture as classic as the Old Firm or El Clasico. Northeastern vs. Boston University. Everything to play for. The Huskies made the trip across town for the matchup against the Terriers at Nickerson Field, and after an interesting 90 minutes of play, would draw with their rival 1-1. The first…
It is a trope as old as written language itself. The underdog versus the titan. David versus Goliath. Rudy versus the Notre Dame coaching staff. This is not one of those stories. Two titans of the CAA, the Towson Tigers and the Northeastern Huskies, squared off in a top-four league matchup on Sunday at Parsons…
With a packed house, high scoring, and penalties galore, Saturday night was busy for the Northeastern Huskies when they hosted the Bentley Falcons in their second official game of the season. However, it did confirm one thing: the Huskies have opened a new chapter. The Huskies fell to the Falcons when the pair last met…
After playing a badly overmatched opponent on Saturday and an exhibition with no standings implications on Sunday, evaluating Northeastern’s opening-weekend performance comes with some asterisks. But from everything we did see on the ice this weekend? It’s hard to imagine how things could have gone much better. After routing a Stonehill squad transitioning to Division…
More than two thousand fans filled Matthews Arena on Saturday night for the Huskies’ season opener, and the team did not disappoint. In fact, it showed up big — seven times. For No. 18 Northeastern’s first-ever matchup against non-conference neighbor Stonehill, the Huskies buried seven goals and posted a total 52 shots — the highest…
Less than 24 hours after a back-and-forth game saw Northeastern win 4-1, they returned to the familiar confines of Matthews Arena for a second match against the Boston University Terriers on Saturday.

BOSTON — Northeastern got outskated, outworked, and outplayed for the first 40 minutes of Friday’s game at Walter Brown arena.

BROOKLINE — Over the course of the long, arduous CAA season, Northeastern has gone through several ups and downs. One of the downs came just last weekend, when they dropped a game to the Hofstra Pride by a narrow 1-0 margin. Occasionally, all a team needs to stop a skid is a bit of home…
With two bonafide national contenders and more than half the league entering the season with legitimate NCAA tournament aspirations, Hockey East looks as talented and deep as it has been in a long time. Teams ranked in the USCHO’s preseason top-20 include Boston University (1), Boston College (6), Merrimack (14), Providence (18), and Northeastern (19),…
BROOKLINE — After dropping a disappointing match against the Campbell Camels, Northeastern came back home to Parsons Field for a matchup against a New Hampshire side that received ranking votes.

The leaves are falling and anticipation is growing for the puck to drop on the Northeastern hockey’s 2023-24 season.

After splitting their opening-weekend series against No. 11 Penn State, Northeastern looked to reset down in Long Island with a matchup against the Sharks, a team the Huskies’ had a clear talent edge over on paper.

BOSTON — For the past five years, this weekend’s series split with Penn State would have been a major disappointment for Northeastern. But for this season’s retooling squad? Growing pains are to be expected. Perfection is no longer the measuring stick, and the Huskies won’t demolish opponents every night on pure talent alone. Opening the…
Northeastern’s men’s soccer team entered Saturday night looking for their first home win of the season against a Stony Brook squad that was undefeated in conference play. On the other side, the Seawolves were looking to break some looming streaks of their own. Coming into the match, Stony Brook was winless on the road for…
BOSTON — It’s not all smooth sailing when it comes to playing an opponent like Penn State, something Northeastern discovered rather quickly on Saturday.

By Peyton Doyle and Khalin Kapoor Rich Weinrebe started off his first season strong as Northeastern’s newest men’s soccer coach.

In his first year as head coach of the Huskies, Rich Weinrebe had 13 new players join his squad. Four of his five transfers — Tobias Wangerud, Fabrizio Cubbedu, Ole Kjørholt, and Ahria Simons — made instant impacts for Northeastern. That group made 58 starts combined for the team last season. The freshman class was…
Last season, the Northeastern women’s soccer team made it to its second straight CAA title game and knocked off three talented non-conference opponents — UConn, UNH, and BU — during the regular season. This season, the Huskies are changing up their non-conference slate a bit, only playing two New England squads and facing two teams…
Northeastern head coach Ashley Phillips couldn’t have asked for a better performance from her group of newcomers last season.

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.

Since then, there have been…

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.

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.

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 — 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.

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.

BOSTON — Keishana Washington showed why she’s one of the best players in the country Friday night inside the Cabot Center.

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…

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.

BOSTON — It was starting to feel like déjà vu for Northeastern on Monday night.

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.

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.

UNC Wilmington won the opening tip against Northeastern, but that was just about the only thing that went right for the Seahawks on Sunday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Northeastern’s trip down to the Music City was, in short, a smash hit.

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.

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.

DURHAM, N.H. — After a hard-fought loss at home against Boston College, Northeastern looked to right the ship against a shorthanded New Hampshire.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After his monster…
This offseason, Northeastern’s two head basketball coaches were faced with an all-too-familiar challenge for modern college basketball programs: heavy roster turnover.

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

BOSTON — Vinny Borgesi is a self-described “pass-first guy.” But as a 2-on-1 rush developed with Borgesi and teammate Justin Hyrckowian just one minute into overtime, Borgesi seized his opportunity to score his first collegiate goal and secure a 3-2 win over Long Island in a scintillating season opener. “I really don’t shoot much, but…
