A snow storm, a Tuesday night road game, some melted ice and a game delay might not seem like factors that would help a team pull out a much needed win. But when the men’s hockey team traveled to the University of Massachusetts for a rescheduled match stemming from winter storm Nemo and waited through a 30-minute delay, the Huskies left Amherst with two crucial Hockey East points and a 5-4 overtime victory.
While most sports fans have been focused on the men's basketball team's success or hoping that the men's hockey team would finally win another Beanpot, the women's hockey team slipped under the radar. While they are not quite as good as last year due to the loss of outstanding senior goalie Florence Schelling, they have been very hot recently.
In what was perhaps the most important series of the season, the Huskies had exactly what they have been missing in recent weeks: good defense and solid goaltending. They limited the University of Vermont Catamounts to just five goals in two games, but the Huskies left the weekend with no points because they only scored one goal each night.
In a critical weekend of conference play between two teams stuck at the bottom of the Hockey East standings, the men's hockey team was unable to come away with a single point as the University of Vermont Catamounts swept Northeastern on the weekend, and in the three-game season series, with 2-1 and 3-1 victories.
The No. 10 women’s hockey team found a little bit of Beanpot magic Tuesday night and took its second consecutive tournament championship over a No. 2 Boston College team it had failed to defeat in all three previous meetings this season.

The Northeastern Huskies men’s basketball team has proven itself to be the top club in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) during this regular season. But, what has gone overlooked by some are their many incredible performances on the road. In fact, the Huskies are a perfect 7-0 in CAA play away from Matthews Arena thus far this year.
A near comeback from a 4-1 deficit left the students who made up red and black sea in the upper level of TD Garden on the edge of their seats as the men’s hockey team battled Boston College for the Beanpot title Monday night. But the Huskies and their fans will have to wait until 2014 for another chance to be the best in Boston.
Junior center Jewel Tunstull’s hook shot fell through the net with one second remaining to seal Northeastern’s 59-57 win over the Hofstra University Pride on Feb. 7 in Hempstead, N.Y. The Huskies (13-8, 6-4 CAA) have put together consecutive wins that came down to the final possession.
