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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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 — 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…
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 — 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…
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…
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,…
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…
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 — 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.…
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…
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 – 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 — 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 — 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…
