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…
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…

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.

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 — 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…
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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 – 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.
