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 – 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.

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…

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. 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…

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.

BOSTON — As Cristophe Tellier buried the rebound past the diving reach of UNH goalie Jacob Whale, you could practically feel the weight lifted from Northeastern’s bench.

BOSTON – 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.
