By Jack Sinclair and Christian Skroce For the second year running, the Northeastern women’s hockey team was unanimously selected to win Hockey East in a poll of conference head coaches. The Huskies ended last season on a resounding high note, smashing UConn in the Hockey East Championship after running away with the regular-season title. The…
By Jack Sinclair After several tantalizing hints on their Twitter, the moment has finally arrived. The Hockey East Association revealed its schedule for the 2020–21 season. Both the men’s and women’s leagues will begin on November 20, though the Northeastern women will begin November 27 and the men on November 28. The formatting of the…
By Milton Posner Almost eight months to the day after Northeastern and Hofstra battled it out in the CAA Championship game, the conference released the results of its preseason poll. For the second straight year, the Pride took the top spot. The Huskies, who underperformed their third-place projection last year before hitting their stride in…
By Milton Posner The Colonial Athletic Association announced its 2020–21 schedules for men’s and women’s basketball on Wednesday morning. Teams will play 18 conference games across January and February, same as usual. But to limit travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, teams will play back-to-back games on Saturdays and Sundays against the same opponent in the…
By Milton Posner and Christian Skroce On Wednesday afternoon, the Anaheim Ducks nabbed Sam Colangelo with the 36th pick in the NHL Entry Draft, making him the highest Northeastern selection since Jamie Oleksiak in 2011. He was also the first Hockey East player selected this year and the first college player off the board in…
By Milton Posner The NCAA’s Division I Council voted Wednesday to kick off the men’s and women’s college basketball seasons the day before Thanksgiving. According to Associate Athletic Director Scott MacDonald, Northeastern will finalize its schedules after the NCAA Board of Directors approves the council’s proposal on September 22. The Colonial Athletic Association, which houses…
By Milton Posner Hockey East announced Wednesday that it intends to play a league season with all member schools participating, though it acknowledged the need for real-time scheduling changes in light of pandemic developments. The news was first reported by Jimmy Connelly. The priority will be completing the league season, although teams can play other…
By Milton Posner As the COVID-19 pandemic rages nationwide, Northeastern University announced on Friday afternoon that it is suspending fall sports. The decision includes soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and cross country, with an emphasis on trying to play those sports in the spring. A decision on basketball, ice hockey, swimming, and track and field —…
By Milton Posner Today was supposed to be Commencement Day. Northeastern’s graduating class would have filed into their seats on the floor of TD Garden, then strolled onto the stage, shaken hands with the school’s infinitely memeable president, and received their diplomas as their families celebrated their years of hard work. But with an ongoing…
By Milton Posner Not one week after a surprising, inspiring, rejuvenating run to the CAA Championship game, Northeastern men’s basketball found itself in trouble. Compounding the losses of CAA leading scorer Jordan Roland and versatile four-year starter Bolden Brace to graduation, three players — Max Boursiquot, Tomas Murphy, and Myles Franklin — announced their intent…
By Milton Posner WASHINGTON — Before the swarming zone defense, before the frantic scrambles for offensive rebounds, before the drives and the kickouts and the one-on-one brilliance, Tuesday night’s game was about vengeance. The Northeastern Huskies knew it better than anybody. Two years ago, after locking up a share of the CAA regular-season title, battling their…
Reminder: Northeastern faces Hofstra in the CAA Championship tonight at 7 PM. Michael Petillo, Matt Neiser, and Milton Posner will have the call from Washington D.C., with covering beginning around 15 minutes before tipoff. By Matt Neiser WASHINGTON — No. 6 seed vs. No. 7 seed in a ten-team tournament. It sounds like an early-round…
Reminder: Northeastern plays Elon in the semifinal of the CAA Tournament today at 8:30 PM EDT. Michael Petillo, Milton Posner, and Matt Neiser will call the game, with coverage beginning about 15 minutes before tipoff. By Milton Posner WASHINGTON — An atypical day for the CAA is, well, typical. Sunday’s schedule saw four quarterfinal games,…
Reminder: Northeastern plays Elon at 8:30 PM EDT on Monday in the semifinal of the CAA Tournament. Michael Petillo, Milton Posner, and Matt Neiser will be on the call from Washington D.C., with coverage beginning about 15 minutes before tipoff. By Milton Posner WASHINGTON — The calling card of Northeastern’s conference season was an infuriating…
By Christian Skroce NORTH ANDOVER, MA — There was a theme for the 2020 Hockey East Championship, a theme the Northeastern Huskies hammered home forcefully and often: goals, goals, and more goals. That theme propelled the Northeastern Huskies to an unforgettable 9–1 victory over UConn and their third consecutive Hockey East Championship. Northeastern began the…
By Milton Posner Reminder: Northeastern men’s basketball takes on Towson in the quarterfinal of the CAA Tournament Sunday at 8:30 PM EST. Michael Petillo, Matt Neiser, and Milton Posner will have the call from Washington D.C., with coverage beginning fifteen minutes before tip-off. WASHINGTON — The CAA Tournament kicked off Saturday with two games featuring…
By Christian Skroce BOSTON — It was do or die time for Northeastern as they took a five-game losing streak into their regular season finale against Boston University. And to no one’s surprise, things were tense (and a little weird) from the very beginning. The Huskies began the game on the penalty kill after backup…
By Jack Sinclair Reminder: Northeastern will play Connecticut in the Hockey East Championship game Sunday at 2 PM. Christian Skroce and Dale Desantis will be on the call from Lawler Rink at Merrimack College, with coverage beginning at 1:45 PM EST. Northeastern established themselves as the team to beat early in the season. They clinched…
By Matt Neiser Surprise, surprise. Well, not really. In the midst of one of the greatest season in programs history, nine players on the No. 4 Northeastern women’s hockey team and head coach Dave Flint were honored with a slew of awards for the 2019–20 campaign, the conference announced this week. Freshmen Megan Carter and…
By Adam Doucette BOSTON — Northeastern began their Friday night hopeful that they could beat Boston University on home ice, then go to Agganis Arena the next day and overtake the Terriers in the Hockey East standings. They ended the night realizing that wasn’t going to happen. The Terriers came to Matthews Arena Friday night…
By Milton Posner Reminder: Northeastern begins their CAA Tournament play against Towson Sunday at 6:30 PM EST. Michael Petillo, Matt Neiser, and Milton Posner will have the call from Washington D.C., with coverage beginning at 6:15. It was hard to know what to expect from Jordan Roland and Tyson Walker before the season started. Everyone…
By Milton Posner The CAA Tournament is a funny thing. Save for the top six teams receiving a first-round bye — which Northeastern has — there isn’t much advantage in being a one seed instead of a six seed. This is especially true this season, in which the league’s almost ludicrous parity limits the matchup…
By Milton Posner It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for the Huskies. After losing star sophomore forward Tyler Madden to injury, the Huskies dropped two games against first-place Boston College, including their worst loss since 1992. After losing senior Grant Jozefek to injury in the second BC game, the Huskies were swept by last-place…
By Milton Posner On December 17, Northeastern flew to Michigan for their last games before conference play. Though 6’9” sophomore forward Greg Eboigbodin was advertised before the trip — he played high school ball in Detroit — he sat out both games due to injury. With 6’8” junior forward Tomas Murphy also hurt, head coach…
By Milton Posner BOSTON — Playing the Towson Tigers is like fighting an actual tiger. They’re fierce, they’re territorial, and the longer you’re locked in with them the more fatigued you get. So if you’re the Northeastern Huskies, and you have an extra day to prep for a Sunday showdown with Pat Skerry’s squad, you…
By Jack Sinclair BURLINGTON, VT — Every season, every team, no matter the sport, goes through ups and downs. The 2007 Patriots rode high for 18 games, then fell in the Super Bowl. The 73–9 Golden State Warriors’ high lasted until the last three games of the NBA finals. The 2019–20 Northeastern men’s hockey team…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Fresh off a 5–1 win in game one, Northeastern looked to close out their Hockey East quarterfinal series against the Vermont Catamounts with a sweep on Friday at Matthews Arena. Early struggles plagued the Huskies once again, but a second-period goal from junior Skylar Fontaine gave them the spark they…
By Milton Posner It was a game Northeastern could hardly afford to lose, and they just might pay dearly for it. The Huskies took the ice Friday night fully aware of the stakes that awaited them. They sat tied for seventh place in the tightest playoff race Hockey East has ever seen, with just four…
By Michael Petillo BOSTON — The Northeastern Huskies defended home court on Thursday night, defeating James Madison 77–57 to secure a first-round bye in next week’s CAA tournament. Graduate transfer Guilien Smith led the Huskies with 20 points and Shaquille Walters dropped in 15 points to go along with six assists. Northeastern (15–14, 9–8 CAA)…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Finally, playoff hockey is upon us. After a season of hard work to put themselves in pole position heading into the postseason, the first-seeded Northeastern Huskies have the chance to defend their Hockey East crown for the second consecutive season. The women kicked off their playoff campaign with game one…
By Milton Posner Claustrophobics beware. With one week remaining in the CAA’s men’s basketball regular season, just four games separate third and eight place, and just two games separate third and sixth. The Northeastern Huskies sit in sixth place with an 8–8 record. There are four games on Thursday, four on Saturday, and one on…
Story and Photos by Sarah Olender BOSTON — Coming off of a 3–0 win against the Merrimack Warriors Friday night, the Northeastern Huskies were still feeding off of that energy. Northeastern’s three seniors were honored before their last regular-season home game. Codie Cross, from Alberta, Canada, Paige Capistran, from Manchester, New Hampshire, and Matti Hartman,…
By Milton Posner PHILADELPHIA — The last time Northeastern faced Drexel, the Huskies tore the Dragons up in every way imaginable. The Huskies nailed nine of their 17 tries from beyond the arc as their balanced attack carried them to a 85–52 victory. Northeastern played seven games between then and Saturday afternoon’s rematch with Drexel.…
By Christian Skroce CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — It was one of the worst performances in recent memory. After a hard-fought Thursday game between the Northeastern Huskies and the Boston College Eagles ended in a 3–2 BC victory, tonight’s matchup saw the Eagles demolish the Huskies 10–1, the worst margin of loss for Northeastern since a…
By Jack Sinclair As the regular season winds down, Northeastern’s eyes are set on the playoffs. The Hockey East playoffs begin with a best-of-three at home against the Vermont Catamounts on Thursday. Before that, however, the team had one more job to do. Merrimack and Northeastern sit at opposite ends of the Hockey East standings.…
By Milton Posner Imagine, for a moment, being Matt Lord or Dave Howarth. Both are freshmen position players for the Huskies. Neither saw any playing time during the team’s first three games, all decisive losses to the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. So they made their collegiate debuts on Friday afternoon in Fort Myers, Florida.…
By Milton Posner Those moments when you’re riding high, when you feel invincible, when you feel like you have all the momentum and confidence . . . those are the moments you’re most likely to be smashed over the head with a hefty sledgehammer. Such was the story of the Northeastern Huskies on Thursday night.…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Coming off a hard-fought weekend sweep of UMass Lowell, No. 10 Northeastern hoped to carry their momentum against another top Hockey East team Thursday night at Matthews Arena. This time it was the No. 5/6 Boston College Eagles, holders of the top spot in the conference. Despite encouraging play in…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Hockey East is the closest it’s ever been this late in the season. Coming into Saturday night, three points separated second and ninth place. Northeastern sat at the low end of that range, in a three-way tie for seventh with 19 points. UMass Lowell, with 22, was atop the scrum…
By Jack Sinclair The Huskies have planted themselves atop the Hockey East standings and brought the Beanpot home, but their goals hardly end there. As the third-ranked team in the nation with one of the best defenses in the nation, the best goalie in the nation, and one of the best forwards in the nation,…
By Milton Posner BOSTON — You’d be forgiven for thinking that disaster was in store. As they entered Matthews Arena on Saturday morning, the Northeastern Huskies had lost five of their last seven contests, each one featuring a blown second-half lead, faltering defense, and lackluster rebounding. Their Saturday afternoon opponent seemed perfectly primed to exploit…
By Alex Bensley LOWELL, Mass. — The Beanpot hangover did not make an appearance at the Tsongas Center in Lowell on Friday night. Four days after the No. 12 Northeastern Huskies won their third consecutive Beanpot title, Jim Madigan’s group shut down No. 11 UMass Lowell to move up to sixth place in the conference…
By Milton Posner and Rae Deer BOSTON — Northeastern has dominated the entire season. They’ve won 25 games, shut out their opponents for 315 consecutive minutes, and clinched the top spot in the Hockey East Standings in January. But there’s one team in Hockey East that doesn’t seem scared of the Huskies, and on Friday…
By Michael Petillo BOSTON — Coming off a tough two-week stretch in which they lost four straight games, Northeastern returned to Matthews Arena on Thursday and picked up a much needed win, defeating UNCW 71–63. The Huskies held the Seahawks to just 24 first half points and Jordan Roland poured in 27 on the night…
By Christian Skroce “From 30 years, to three in a row, Northeastern is a Beanpot dynasty.” That was our final call on air Monday night as the Northeastern Huskies raised the Beanpot trophy for the third time in as many years. It was a moment that Husky players, coaches, fans, and yes, even radio guys,…
By Dale Desantis BOSTON — It was déjà vu in the best way for the Huskies. Twenty-four hours after Jordan Harris’ game-winner propelled the men’s team to a Beanpot championship, Lauren MacInnis, refusing to let Harris be the only #2-wearing Husky defender to sink Boston University with a double-overtime goal, ended the night. It was…
With 5:07 remaining in the second overtime, sophomore defenseman Jordan Harris scored to give Northeastern a 5–4 win over BU. Hear Christian Skroce and Matt Neiser call the legendary moment that gave Northeastern its first Beanpot three-peat. WRBB’s written coverage of the game can be found here.
By Christian Skroce BOSTON — The heart-attack Huskies just couldn’t help themselves. In a Beanpot final for the ages, one that lasted late into Monday night, it took two overtime periods to crown a 2020 champion, and the game of the decade did not disappoint. Boston University — which qualified for the game after another…
By Matt Neiser HEMPSTEAD, NY — The Northeastern men’s basketball team came into Saturday afternoon’s game against Hofstra on a three-game losing streak, desperate for a win as William & Mary, Charleston, and Hofstra have begun to separate themselves at the top of the CAA. Looking for revenge after Eli Pemberton’s last-second game-winner in their…
By Alex Bensley BOSTON — In a clash of cross-town foes, the No. 3/2 Northeastern Huskies prevailed in the 42nd annual beanpot at Walter Brown Arena, ousting the No. 10 Harvard Crimson 3–1 in the first semifinal game Tuesday evening. “Exciting game, think it was fast paced. Chances on both ends, went right down to the…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Finally, the day college hockey fans in Massachusetts have waited for since the season started in October. The Beanpot is back for its 68th iteration, and the two-time defending champion Northeastern men’s hockey team kicked the festivities off on Monday against the Harvard Crimson in the early game. Harvard came…
By Milton Posner and Adam Doucette ELON, North Carolina — The last name the Northeastern Huskies visited the Elon Phoenix, dominant overtime play gave the Huskies an 11-point win and moved them to 2–2 in CAA play. That was January 10, 2019. It was also the last time the Huskies would possess a losing conference…
By Jack Sinclair BOSTON — An extra week off of the ice usually results in one of two things. Either the team returns rested and with fewer injuries, or they look sluggish and uneasy. Northeastern came off their 12-day break with nothing but benefits. They were rested, and the return of Julian Kislin after a…
By Catherine Morrison BOSTON — Every major women’s hockey poll places Boston University as the eighth-best team in the nation. Although those polls place Northeastern third, the Huskies would be forgiven for taking every last game to edge BU out for the Hockey East crown. The Huskies didn’t need that many. They clinched on Friday.…
By Milton Posner WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia — The green-and-gold-clad players leapt joyfully on the sidelines. The similarly dressed fans erupted into deafening cheers. And the scoreboard, for the final time on a frantic Thursday evening, changed its mind. But Northeastern fans who were paying attention — and perhaps even a few who weren’t — would have…
By Catherine Morrison BOSTON — Northeastern’s Tuesday game against rival Boston University was a nail-biter from start to finish. BU started out strong with a first-period goal from Deziray De Sousa. Northeastern is rarely behind at all, much less in the opening frame, and leads the nation with 42 first-period goals this season. However, the…
By Milton Posner If you took a shot every time a CAA coach, player, or commentator said the word “parity,” you’d probably wake up the next morning with a raging hangover, an empty wallet, a lower-back butterfly tattoo, and no clue how you wound up two cities over. It’s entirely justified. The Hofstra Pride, last…
By Catherine Morrison Fifteen minutes into Saturday afternoon’s matchup with the Vermont Catamounts, Northeastern allowed a goal, the first in nearly three weeks. The team had played 315 consecutive minutes (more than five games) without letting their opponents on the board. But in a reminder of the just how special this season has been, even…
By Milton Posner BOSTON — At the close of CAA action on Saturday, the Northeastern Huskies’ average margin of victory in conference play rested at 7.7 points, nearly three points better than the next-best team. And yet they sat tied for fifth, owners of a 5–4 conference record, an anomaly possible only because each one…
By Jack Sinclair The Soviet defense of Stalingrad was largely hailed as one of the greatest defenses in history. The valor demonstrated by the Soviet soldiers in the harshest of winters during their last-ditch effort to thwart the German surge became immortalized in history. Speaking of steadfast defenses in frigid environments . . . the…
By Michael Petillo BOSTON — Coming off a disappointing overtime loss to UNCW on Saturday, Northeastern returned to Matthews Arena Thursday night badly needing a bounce-back win. They got it against Drexel, soundly defeating the Dragons 85–52 in a game that was never in doubt. Jordan Roland led the scoring charge for the Huskies as…
By Matt Neiser WILMINGTON, North Carolina — Fresh off a 15-point comeback win over CAA heavyweight Charleston, the Northeastern men’s basketball team was riding high as it made its way to Wilmington for a Saturday night matchup against the winless-in-conference UNCW Seahawks. The Seahawks pulled the Huskies back down to earth in Trask Coliseum, however,…
By Matt Cunha BOSTON — Benjamin Freeman’s power-play rebound goal three minutes into overtime gave UConn (9–10–4, 6–7–2) a 3–2 win over Northeastern (13–7–2, 7–6–1 HEA) Saturday night at Matthews Arena. The outcome was a crucial one, coming amid a tight Hockey East playoff race in which the top seven teams — including Northeastern and…
By Christian Skroce BOSTON — The Northeastern women’s hockey team is making shutouts a trend, and we’re all for it. The Huskies’ momentum continued after last weekend’s combined 9–0 shutout of Boston College as the team pulled off a convincing 4–0 win over Hockey East rival UConn. After an uneventful first five minutes, talented freshman…
By Michael Petillo CHARLESTON, South Carolina — Coming off a pair of heartbreaking, buzzer-beating home defeats to William & Mary and Hofstra, the Northeastern Huskies marched into TD Arena Thursday night badly in need of a win. Against Grant Riller and the second-place College of Charleston Cougars, snapping that two-game skid would be no small…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Boston College and Northeastern. Cross-town rivals. The top two teams in Women’s Hockey East. Any time these two squads face off, it’s must-watch action. That said, there’s been a sizeable gap between the teams this season. Entering Sunday afternoon’s duel at Matthews Arena, the No. 3 Huskies had outscored the…
By Matt Neiser DURHAM, New Hampshire — “That effort tonight was unacceptable.” A clearly irritated Jim Madigan was none too happy with his team postgame, and for good reason. His Northeastern men’s hockey squad had just finished a Hockey East duel with New Hampshire in Durham, and suffice to say it certainly wasn’t their best…
By Milton Posner Thursday night’s ending was a test of just how much déjà vu the college basketball gods can cram into one play. Just like Saturday, Northeastern faced a top-tier CAA opponent at Matthews Arena. Once again, the Huskies overcame first-half struggles, closed the deficit with hot second-half shooting, and tied the score in…
By Matt Neiser Tyler Madden began Monday with 14 goals and 12 assists, tied for third in the nation in goals and tied for fourth in points. The Vancouver Canucks prospect has been on fire as of late; in only his second college season, Madden has placed himself firmly in the Hobey Baker Award conversation.…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Entering Saturday’s games, three CAA men’s basketball teams boasted undefeated records. Two of those teams, Northeastern and Charleston, were of no surprise to most CAA followers. But you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who predicted the third team would be where they are. The William & Mary Tribe, with long-time…
By Sarah Olender In a battle between Hockey East’s two Husky teams at the Hartford XL Center on Friday night, Northeastern’s early-game dominance on both sides of the puck carried them to a 5–2 victory over UConn. Within the team’s first 30 seconds of play in 2020, Northeastern’s Matt Filipe fired a shot into the…
By Milton Posner BOSTON — On December 31, 13 hours before the clock hit midnight and the year reset, Tyson Walker was named CAA Rookie of the Week for the third time this season; no other player has won it more than once. The main reason the league cited was his scoring; Walker notched a…
By Milton Posner For a few games, it appeared as though Jordan Roland had settled down. His scoring average dropped from the national top-five toward slightly more reasonable territory, and he was shooting just 30 percent in the team’s last three games. But he couldn’t lie dormant forever, and on Monday evening he woke up,…
By Milton Posner For years now, anyone who has strolled into SECU Arena to face Pat Skerry’s Towson Tigers has known exactly what they’re up against. The Tigers are tough, scrappy, and energetic on defense, and every point scored against them is a point well-earned. They lived up to that reputation in non-conference play this…
By Milton Posner With the CAA’s conference slate beginning today, WRBB examined the non-conference performances of all 10 CAA teams and ranked them from worst to best. The rankings are based on each team’s record and strength of schedule, with occasional deviations if a deep dive into a team’s schedule, margins of victory, or statistics…
By Milton Posner A matchup between Northeastern and Detroit Mercy a week before Christmas wouldn’t normally stir much national attention. But Thursday evening’s contest had a nationally relevant storyline running right through its heart. On the Northeastern side was Jordan Roland, the nation’s fourth-leading scorer at 23.8 points per game. On the Detroit side was…
By Milton Posner Anyone who glanced at a pre-game matchup sheet could hazard a guess at how Tuesday evening’s game would go. Northeastern, which entered the game fifth in the nation in three-point percentage, would rely on outside shooting. Eastern Michigan, which entered ranked ninth in the nation in scoring defense, would use their height…
By Milton Posner BOSTON — Saturday afternoon’s game was, in many ways, similar to last Saturday’s contest against Boston University. Both games had chaotic second periods. In both, Northeastern netted three goals. The difference today was the result; Northeastern walked off the ice with a 6–4 win over Dartmouth in their last game of the…
By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Fresh off a victory in the Belfast-based Friendship Four and riding a five-game winning streak, the No. 8/12 Northeastern men’s ice hockey team headed across town to rival Boston University for the teams’ first meeting this season. Despite entering Saturday’s game with a losing record, the Terriers are chock full…
By Milton Posner Many of Northeastern’s wins this season have resulted from a wave of improbable Jordan Roland shots. The senior guard has shown out this season, his long-distance bombs guiding the Husky offense. On Saturday afternoon, a squad hailing from Roland’s old conference arrived at Matthews Arena to battle the Huskies. Roland stood a…
By Catherine Morrison Wednesday night’s tilt was one of extremes. Northeastern looked to grab the top spot in Hockey East, while Holy Cross was just barely holding off Merrimack to stay out of last place. The contest came a week after the teams’ last meeting, when Northeastern notched their biggest win in 20 years. Tonight’s…
By Michael Petillo Jordan Roland tallied 28 points and the Northeastern Huskies defended home court against the Maine Black Bears, winning 78–63 on Wednesday night. Roland notched his 1,000th career point while leading the Huskies to their second consecutive win. Northeastern (5–4) started slowly, committing turnovers on each of their first three possessions before a…
By Milton Posner As Northeastern took the court against Weber State Wednesday morning, they were fresh off a close defeat at Drake’s hands, a defeat caused in part by 19 Northeastern turnovers and the resulting disparity in shot attempts. For the second day in a row, Northeastern give the ball away 19 times. But this…
By Milton Posner As the game clock steadily ticked off its final seconds, Jason Strong took charge. He took the ball out top, put his head down, and drove down the right side of the lane. He tossed the ball with a gentle hooking motion, and his layup settled neatly into the basket with 0.6…
By Milton Posner As Boston trudges inexorably toward winter, as the days end earlier, the winds blow harder, and the temperatures drop, the Northeastern Huskies migrated south, if only for a few days. They flew to Fort Myers, Florida for the Gulf Coast Showcase, an annual eight-team tournament. The Huskies’ three-day, three-game slate is, according…
By Matthew Cunha Northeastern needed a comeback after entering the third period down 2–1, but goals from Neil Shea and Zach Solow allowed them to fend off Maine Saturday night at Matthews Arena. The 3–2 win gave the Huskies a weekend sweep over Maine; the women’s team beat Maine earlier in the day and will…
By Catherine Morrison Before puck drop Saturday afternoon against Maine, the women’s hockey team celebrated head coach Dave Flint, who recently passed Don MacLeod to become the winningest coach in program history. The team’s stellar play this season has put Flint’s win total up to 213. “I’m really grateful for all the great kids I’ve…
By Jonathan Golbert The Northeastern Huskies got off to a blistering start Friday night, jumping to a two–zip lead less than six minutes into their tilt with the Maine Black Bears. Coach Jim Madigan’s forwards led the way for the Huskies (7–4–2, 4–3–1 HEA), who now sit in fifth place in the Hockey East standings,…
By Milton Posner WORCESTER, MA — From 1096 to 1271, the Roman Catholic Church waged a series of wars against Muslim powers in the eastern Mediterranean. Though the Crusades arguably increased Christianity’s reach, the Church’s wealth, and the Pope’s power, the Crusaders repeatedly failed in their main goal of retaking the Holy Land. On Tuesday…
By Catherine Morrison No. 4 Northeastern faced its biggest opponent yet Tuesday night when they visited No. 6 Boston College. Northeastern was coming off of a win against New Hampshire, BC off a win over Boston University. The two rivals battled, but Northeastern came on top 3-0. The first period started slow, but with 13:12…
By Christian Skroce BOSTON —Providence coach Nate Leaman summed up tonight’s game the only way he could: “We got our butts kicked. That’s my opening statement.” It had been three years since the Huskies had last beaten Providence, and it looked like that streak would continue tonight. After falling to the Friars in Providence last…
By Michael Petillo Old Dominion used strong rebounding and defense to knock off Northeastern Saturday afternoon by a score of 76–69. ODU outrebounded the Huskies 36–26 — including a 14–6 margin on the offensive glass and an 11–3 second-chance points advantage — and pulled away during the last few minutes of what was, for the…
By Matt Neiser After a blazing 4–1–0 start to the season, the No. 14 Northeastern men’s hockey team has been reeling a bit lately. Their next four games saw them go 0–3–1, including a 1–1 tie against Merrimack — the team Northeastern head coach Jim Madigan picked to finish last in Hockey East in the…
By Milton Posner For the first time this season, Jordan Roland — whose 81 points through two games had garnered himself and his team national recognition — did not log an otherworldly performance. For the first time this season, Northeastern played the balanced offensive game last year’s team did so well. And for the first time…
By Catherine Morrison Saturday night’s homecoming game was a tension filled dramafest. Multiple fights broke out. 23 penalties were called, with Merrimack’s 13 and Northeastern’s 10 both setting season highs. Three players were hit with 10-minute misconduct penalties. And amid it all, Northeastern pulled out a 3–1 win. NU’s Tyler Madden celebrated his 20th birthday…
By Michael Petillo On Tuesday night against BU, Northeastern senior guard Jordan Roland scored 39 points, just shy of the school record of 41 held by Husky legends J.J. Barea and Reggie Lewis. Northeastern needed every one of those points, as they edged BU out in the closing seconds. Tonight, the Harvard Crimson, a team…
By Matt Neiser Fresh off a two-game sweep of Boston University last weekend, the No. 4 Northeastern women’s hockey team took on the winless Holy Cross Crusaders at Matthews Arena on Friday afternoon. The Huskies dominated throughout the game, generating their highest goal differential of the season in a 6–0 win. Sophomore star Alina Mueller…
By Milton Posner When the 2019–20 season ends and the CAA releases its all-conference teams, it’s entirely possible that Jordan Roland’s left hand will make the first team. Roland is right-handed, not that you could tell from watching Tuesday night’s game. The 6’1” senior guard, who usually feasts on a steady diet of long-distance bombs,…

By Adam Doucette ST. CLOUD, MN — The Huskies bounced back in a big way on Friday night in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

by Justin Littman Northeastern freshman Brandon Kamga has announced via Twitter that he will be transferring from the school.

Kamga will continue his playing career at High Point University.…
By: Ravi Pandya The Huskies entered this series with a 7-4 record (19-16) overall. The William & Mary Tribe had a 6-5 record (17-20 overall). The Huskies appeared to have the advantage in their starting pitching matchups. On Friday, Huskies ace Aaron Civale faced off against Nick Brown. On Saturday, James Mulry faced Bodie Sheehan.…
By: Ravi Pandya Coming off of a thrilling Beanpot win against Harvard, the Huskies looked to keep the momentum going with a weekend series against Elon. Northeastern came into the series with a 14-12 record overall and a 3-2 record against CAA opponents. On Friday, the Huskies won in relatively easy fashion as they beat…
By: Mack Krell Northeastern (14-12) and Harvard (7-15) faced off on Wednesday at 3:30 at Friedman Diamond in the Beanpot Semifinals.

By: Josh Brown and Dan McLoone CINCINNATI- It was a sequence so familiar it would be hard-pressed for Huskies fans to not have it ingrained in their brains by now. Less than four minutes into Northeastern’s NCAA Tournament opener against North Dakota, Nolan Stevens, who finished his sophomore season with 10 goals and 13 assists…
By: Dan McLoone BOSTON- A late power play goal from Zach Aston-Reese proved to be enough for the Northeastern men’s ice hockey team, as the Huskies ended a 28-year Hockey East title drought on Huntington Avenue with a 3-2 win over the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Riverhawks at the TD Garden on Saturday. Northeastern captured its first Hockey East…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It seemed like a case of déjà vu. For the second straight season Northeastern and Boston College had to wait in the TD Garden tunnels for several hours past the slated start time of their game for a barnburner in front of them to end. Last year it was a double-overtime…
By: Dan McLoone The Northeastern men’s hockey team continued their torrid pace on Saturday night, completing a sweep of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. After a 3-1 win in game 1, the Huskies came away with a 6-4 victory to advance to their first semifinals appearance since 2011. One night…
By: Josh Brown SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A big debate in sports is whether a bye-week really helps a team come playoff time. Not only do you face a team coming off a win with momentum on their side, but legs might be rusty having not played in-game action in two weeks. Third seeded Notre…
by P.J. Wright At last, spring is on its way back to Boston! Jackets will turn into sweatshirts and then t-shirts; those colorful lawn chairs will once again occupy Centennial Common; frisbees will go back to infiltrating the airstream, and cups of coffee will convert into that of the iced variety – or at least…
by Matthew MacCormack In a lot of ways, the final game of Northeastern’s season mirrored the 2015-16 campaign as a whole. Exactly one month ago, the Huskies were 12-13. The defending CAA champions were sitting at a paltry 8th in the conference, and the season looked lost. Then Northeastern won five of its next six…
by Matthew MacCormack Bill Coen can add fortuneteller to his already-loaded résumé. “Heading into tournament time, your best players have to play well,” the Northeastern head coach said in Tuesday’s Colonial Athletic Association teleconference. “And I think the secret to it is you have to get production and performance from an unsung hero…Whoever is going…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- The monkey is finally off of their back. For the first time since 2011 Northeastern has won a playoff series, sweeping Maine with a 4-3 overtime victory. On his final shot on net at Matthews Arena, senior captain Kevin Roy, one of the most storied players in program history, found the…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- A familiar aurora permeated the Matthews Arena air on Friday night for game one of the first round of the Hockey East playoffs. Just six days ago Northeastern and Maine were involved in a bloodbath of a game that featured two all-out melees and a 7-1 Huskies drumming of the Black…
by Matthew MacCormack To call Northeastern’s season a “roller coaster ride” would be an understatement. Just a few short weeks ago, the UNCW Seahawks waltzed into Matthews Arena and walked away with an easy 17-point victory. The Huskies were 12-13 with a 4-8 mark in the CAA, losers of seven of their last eight. Oh,…
By: Justin Littman The Northeastern Huskies seem to have found an affinity for winning games late in dramatic fashion. It was no different on Saturday as the Huskies (17-14, 9-9 CAA) showed plenty of heart and fought back from an 11-point second half deficit on the road to escape Drexel with a two-point win. It…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It seemed like it was just one of those games where everything went right for Northeastern. On a day where they honored their seniors, the Huskies ended the regular season in style, getting goals from seven different players in a 7-1 route over Maine. It ends Northeastern’s regular season unbeaten in…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- It wasn’t pretty, but with sixth place already locked up for Northeastern in the Hockey East tournament wins are still as crucial as ever, with the Huskies still in the mix for an at-large bid to the big dance. They did just that against Maine Friday night. Behind two goals from…
By: Kyle Williams In hindsight, it probably couldn’t have gone down any other way. A classic CAA rock fight ended with the Huskies victorious on senior night, as they came back to beat College of Charleston by a score of 58-57. It was a fitting end for seniors David Walker, Quincy Ford, Zach Stahl, and…
By: Matthew MacCormack Hempstead, NY- There’s no such thing as a good loss, but there were some encouraging signs from Northeastern’s 65-60 defeat at Hofstra Sunday afternoon. Despite missing starting guard T.J. Williams for the second straight game for academic reasons, the Huskies (15-14, 7-9 CAA) clawed back from a 13-point second-half deficit to bring…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- On November 27th Northeastern was 1-11-2, sitting at the bottom of the league with nothing but disappointment to show for the first half of the season. Since then, the Huskies are 13-2-3 and have clinched the six seed in the Hockey East Tournament. What a turnaround it has been. Behind two…
By: Dan McLoone Harrisonburg, Va.- In their second triple-overtime game of the season, Northeastern outlasted James Madison down the stretch, holding on for a 95-94 win. The win gave the Huskies their first overtime win in CAA play on the season after falling to both Hofstra and College of Charleston in extra time. “We were…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Coming into Saturday night’s game against the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Northeastern, unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games, can credit a portion of that success to the power play. Clicking at a 25.6% pace in their last 12 games entering Saturday (the seventh highest clip in the nation during…
By: Mack Krell After beating Drexel on the road this past Thursday night, Northeastern came home and beat Drexel 70-60 in Matthews Arena on Saturday afternoon. Northeastern (14-13, 6-8 CAA) got off to a hot start in this contest, leading 28-15 midway through the first half. This was thanks to some strong early shooting by…
By: Matthew MacCormack It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Huskies did just enough Thursday night to escape Towson with a 47-44 victory and snap a six-game losing streak. Northeastern (13-13, 5-8 CAA) led by as many as 11 points with 11:40 remaining, but once again stumbled down the stretch and allowed the Tigers to claw…
By: Matthew MacCormack David Walker caught the ball on the left wing midway through the second half of Thursday night’s battle with William & Mary. He hesitated, then took a dribble towards the paint, where Tribe guard Greg Malinowski stood waiting. Malinowski poked the ball from Walker’s reach, sending it high in the air. Before…
By: James Duffy It’s the most wonderful time of the year. But no, there are no kids jingle belling and Santa’s sleigh is not making its routes. Instead, it’s Beanpot Week. The four historic programs will do battle at Walter Brown Arena, and after the dust settles on February 9th, one will emerge as this…
By: Justin Littman Less than 36 hours after Northeastern lost a triple overtime thriller to Hofstra, the Huskies faced another tough test. Without Quincy Ford, who was unable to play after the Hofstra game, Northeastern was forced to play shorthanded on tired legs. Towson controlled the glass and scored 28 points off of 16 Husky turnovers,…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Heading into Saturday’s game against Merrimack riding a seven-game unbeaten streak, the contrast in Northeastern’s first half of the season up until now has been stunning for most, but for Huskies fans just another case of déjà vu. With several parallels to last season’s 0-8-1 start present this season, one is…
By: James Duffy Weekend Review Don’t look now, but there’s a team climbing out of the basement. The red-hot Northeastern Huskies kept the good times rolling last weekend with a sweep of New Hampshire, locking up four points to give them seven on the season. That’s right, they got more points in their last two…
By: Justin Littman BOSTON- After a disappointing 78-60 loss to William & Mary on Saturday, Northeastern was looking to get back on track at home. Unfortunately for the Huskies, James Madison had other ideas. Led by senior guard Ron Curry, James Madison took a 42-27 lead into the half and never looked back. “He (Curry)…
By: James Duffy Weekend Review It’s been a while, but the Hockey East Notebook is back after a long winter break and better than ever. There’s a lot to dive into since the last edition, with every team in Hockey East having played their fair share of games over the past month, so with out…
By: Josh Brown CANTON, N.Y.- A season plagued by tough injuries just got a little bit better for the Northeastern University Men’s Hockey Team Friday night.

By: Matthew MacCormack BOSTON- Blood streamed from Bryn Forbes’ elbow as he walked towards the Michigan State trainer. Some had called the senior “soft” in the days leading up to Saturday’s matchup at Northeastern, but you could tell by the smile on his face what Forbes thought of those pundits. Moments earlier, with his team trailing…
By:Josh Brown BOSTON- With the women’s basketball team falling to Michigan State Friday night, and the men’s basketball team doing the same against the #1 ranked Spartans earlier that afternoon, Northeastern wanted to give their faithful something to hang their hat on going into 2016 on Saturday night. Behind 26 saves by Ryan Ruck, the…
By: Joshua Brown BOSTON- Up 3-1 entering the third period, things were looking up for Northeastern.

By: Joshua Brown CHESNUT HILL, Mass.- Fresh off an appearance in the Friendship Four, the Huskies had to shake off any remaining jet lag, getting right back to the grindstone, facing off with #2 Boston College Saturday night.

By: Matthew MacCormack Now was the time to make a run. Northeastern had trailed by double digits in the first half of Friday afternoon’s matchup with the Detroit Titans, but thanks to senior guard David Walker, had cut the Titan lead to just five at the break. With a little momentum and a vast age…
By: James Duffy Weekend Review Northeastern and UMass Lowell travelled across the pond over Thanksgiving break to take part in the first ever Friendship Four in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Just 1:40 into the first period Mark Jankowski, from the high slot, beat Ryan Ruck to give Providence a 1-0 lead. That proved to be the game.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.-It was much of the same for Northeastern hockey, as the Huskies continued their early-season struggle in South Bend, dropping a 3-2 decision to Notre Dame.

By: James Duffy Weekend Review The opening weekend of Hockey East play was hardly decisive to say the least.

By: Dan McLoone MINNEAPOLIS- It was a tale of two goalies on Friday night, as Minnesota welcomed Northeastern to Mariucci Arena by scoring three quick goals on Derick Roy to force an early goalie change for the Huskies.

Over the past year, I gradually came to realize that our website needed some upgrades if we were to meet our own standards for coverage of Northeastern athletics. After a little planning and some hard work, we’ve unveiled this: a faster and sleeker WRBBSports.com. A huge thank you to WRBB’s Webmaster Stefan Cepko and Finance Director…

By: Jake Fischer PITTSBURGH- As first round upsets have become ever more frequent over the last few years, the term “survive and advance” has become as synonymous with the NCAA Tournament as “March Madness.” Notre Dame needed all 40 minutes to survive Northeastern and advance to the third round of this year’s Big Dance on Thursday,…
By: Josh Brown For the first time since 2008-2009 there was playoff college hockey at Matthews Arena Friday night. Unfortunately for the Northeastern faithful, it was a less than ideal outcome, with Merrimack surviving eight penalties to outlast the Huskies 3-2 in overtime to take a 1-0 series lead in the best-of-three. “They’re a tough…
By: Josh Brown A night after Northeastern put up three first period goals on Boston University, the Terriers one-upped the Huskies, scoring four in the opening frame en route to a 6-1 victory on the last day of the regular season. Boston University (21-7-5, 14-5-3) was led by freshman phenom Jack Eichel, who scored both…
After a pair of dominate wins against Connecticut last week, it was hard to imagine Northeastern could offer a repeat performance up at Alfond Arena this weekend. For a while it looked like the Huskies would do just that, up 5-1 through two periods. The Black Bears would claw their way back scoring three third…
By: Josh Brown After being outplayed for the first two periods, a mere couple of moments flipped the script for Northeastern en route to a 4-2 win over Notre Dame Saturday night, sweeping the weekend series with the Fighting Irish. Zach Aston-Reese scored just 2:06 into the third period and then again just 10 seconds later…
By: Josh Brown Northeastern has sure had a flare for the dramatic in the team’s current 8-2-3 stretch after starting out the year an abysmal 0-8-1. It was the same and song dance Friday night for the Huskies, who scored with just 1:30 left to pick up much-needed Hockey East points in a 3-2 victory over Notre…
They took care of business when it mattered. The Northeastern Huskies traveled up to Burlington, Vermont to play the #9 University of Vermont Catamounts over the weekend, winning on Friday night, while tying a non-conference matchup Saturday.

By: Josh Brown Boston College and Northeastern were desperate for Hockey East points coming into this weekend’s home-and-home set. The Eagles were able to get three of them.

By: Josh Brown Some notes and observations from Northeastern’s 3-2 win over Yale Tuesday night. Big thanks to Northeastern Sports Information for the notes.

By: Josh Brown BOSTON– Neither brother played last night. Tonight they were all the difference. Behind a two goal, three point night by Kevin Roy, and 21 saves by his brother Derick, Northeastern was able to beat St. Lawrence (8-9-2) 4-2 Saturday night, after the two clubs tied 3-3 Friday night. “I liked the way…
BY: Josh Brown BOSTON — Down 3-0 heading into the third while playing without Kevin Roy due to illness, it looked like it would be a rough start to the new year for Northeastern. The Huskies went on to score three third period goals to salvage a 3-3 against St. Lawrence (8-8-2) and prolong their…
By: Josh Brown PROVIDENCE- After Wednesday night’s 5-1 shellacking by the Providence College Friars, Northeastern coach Jim Madigan called his team “soft” and assured that no one’s job in the lineup was safe. The Huskies took that message to heart, and proceeded to go into Providence Saturday afternoon and defeat the Friars 2-1 behind goals…
By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Five unanswered goals, including two a piece by linemates Trevor Mingoia and Ross Mauermann led the Providence College Friars to a 5-1 win over Northeastern at Matthews Arena Wednesday night.

The 4-0…
By: Jeremy Leopold A disciplined Northeastern hockey team showed up at Mathew’s Arena Saturday night to take down a red- hot Merrimack team, and split the season series, after loosing to the Warriors 4-2 on Saturday.

By: Josh Brown BOSTON- Huskies fans can breathe again.

Madigan End of Season Presser
By Josh Brown and Ryan Fallon The #14 Northeastern Huskies (18-12-4, 10-8-2 in Hockey East) needed just one point in the last weekend of regular season play to secure home ice advantage for the Hockey East Quarterfinals. They played a Boston University team which had one of its worst seasons in years. But they couldn’t…
By Josh Brown In one weekend all the hopes of a home playoff game at Matthews Arena were squashed for Huskies fans after the Boston University Terriers (10-20-4, 5-12-13) swept Northeastern (18-12-4, 10-8-2) in a home-and-home series. The loss drops Northeastern to fifth in Hockey East, where they will have to travel to Durham to…

By Jeremy Leopold Marcus Thorton may not be a senior, but the junior William & Mary (17-10, 9-5 CAA) guard put up another stellar performance in a lopsided 81-67 victory over the Northeastern Huskies (9-20, 6-9 CAA) on the Tribe’s Senior Night. All five William & Mary’s starters were seniors playing their final game in…
By Josh Brown Despite three, late third period UMass-Amherst (8-19-4) goals, the Northeastern Huskies (17-10-3) were able to outlast the Minutemen 5-4, to claim fourth place in Hockey East at the end of the weekend. The 17th win on the season for Northeastern is its highest win total since the 2008-2009 season. The Huskies struck…
By Josh Brown Close but just short. That was the case for the #12 Northeastern Huskies (16-10-3) Monday night in the Beanpot Championship as they fell 4-1 to the #1 ranked Boston College Eagles (22-4-3), in what could arguably be called Northeastern’s best executed game of the season. The win is Boston College’s 5th consecutive…
By Josh Brown In Hockey East only one thing is certain. Anybody can win on any given night. That was certainly the case Friday night as the Umass-Amherst Minutemen (8-16-4) defeated the Northeastern Huskies (16-9-3) 3-0 in convincing fashion on a night where they out-shot the Huskies 48-27. “It’s fun when you feel good about the process,…
By Josh Brown For the third time in four years the Northeastern Huskies will play in the Beanpot Championship game. The Huskies defeated Harvard 6-0 in the Semifinals Monday night at the TD Garden.

By Joe Nolan Northeastern split the weekend series with UVM, winning Friday night 3 – 2, but losing Saturday 4 – 1. However, NU still managed to gain ground in Hockey East because only Friday’s contest counted for in-conference standings. Northeastern stole the first game despite being outplayed for much of the game, and only…
By Joe Nolan In a sloppy affair at Fenway Park, Northeastern defeated UMass Lowell 4 – 1, pushing them up another notch in the Hockey East Standings to 2nd place. Witt made 47 saves as the Huskies improved to 13-6-3 overall (6-4-1 Hockey East). Less than ideal weather made for an unusual hockey game, and…
By Joe Nolan Braden Pimm scored to tie the game with only 34 seconds remaining in the third period and again just 12 seconds into overtime to lead the Huskies past the #6 Providence Friars at Schneider Arena Tuesday night. Outplayed most of the game, the surprise win improves Northeastern to 5-4-1 in Hockey East…

By Zolan Kanno-Youngs Sophomore Zach Stahl’s career highs in both points (16) and rebounds (8) weren’t enough to stop the rapid Terriers in Northeastern’s opening day loss in the Coaches vs. Cancer classic at the T.D.

By Zolan Kanno-Youngs Last year: 13-17 (7-11) What happened: They were fast, they could shoot and they could light up the scoreboard on all of their CAA opponents.
