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…
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…
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…
AMHERST – There have been moments that have been disappointing.

And for Friday night’s 5-0 defeat to UMass, it…
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.

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 — 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…
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…
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Northeastern coach Jerry Keefe and his team were well aware of the opportunity in front of them on Saturday.

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.

CHESTNUT HILL — As Boston College star winger Ryan Leonard scooped up the puck in the neutral zone with nothing but open ice ahead of him, all 7,884 spectators at Conte Forum rose to their feet in anticipation.

Senior forward Skyler Irving’s goal, just over six minutes into…

DURHAM, NH — Third period comebacks may very well be Northeastern’s new best friend.

BROOKLINE – Northeastern plays quite well at home, coming into Tuesday’s game against UConn with a home record of 13-3.

For this early afternoon bout, the other Huskies of UConn came to Brookline looking to take advantage of the same Northeastern team…
On Friday afternoon, the Huskies traveled to Greensboro, North Carolina, to start off their weekend series against the NC A&T Aggies with a doubleheader.

“Eight walks isn’t going to get it done, four wild pitches isn’t going to get it done, [five] stolen bases against us isn’t going to get it done,” head coach Mike Glavine said after Northeastern’s first home loss of the season Wednesday afternoon. But that’s exactly what happened when the Huskies hosted Kansas State for…
It was a high-scoring game on both ends. For the third day in a row, Northeastern put up double-digit runs against Delaware, but this time, Blue Hens came out soaring. Evading the conference sweep, Delaware knocked ten bombs out of the park and took game three 14-11. Northeastern’s pitchers — a trio of senior Wyatt…
Two outs on the board. A two-run deficit at the top of the ninth. One last chance for the Huskies to get back on top. Northeastern had started off strong in the second game of their weekend series against Delaware, taking an early 4-0 lead with home runs from Tyler MacGregor and Mike Sirota in…

Despite a slow start for both sides, the Huskies were able to blow the game open late, and claim a 9-4 victory over the Tigers.…
Northeastern’s weekend series at the lowly Towson Tigers seemed like an opportunity to pick up wins and boost their run differential in the process, especially considering the Huskies entered on an eight-game win streak.

Northeastern headed to Towson on Friday afternoon to kick off a three-game weekend series against the Tigers, who entered the day with a 7-20 record and near the basement of the CAA standings.

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 — One step forward, two steps back. The Huskies came into Saturday’s stand-alone match against the No. 12 UMass Minutemen with a chip on their shoulder, seeking revenge after a 2-1 OT loss back in November.

We certainly didn’t play hard enough…
