The Northeastern track teams traveled to Yale University in New Haven, Conn. this weekend to compete in the Giegengack Invitational at Coxe Cage.

A three-game winless streak continued for the Northeastern men's hockey team Friday night with a 3-1 loss to University of New Hampshire (16-6-2 overall, 11-5-1 Hockey East).

The Northeastern University men's and women's track teams hosted the second annual Joe Donahue Games at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Roxbury on Friday.

Sophomore Anna Schegoleva set three pool records, leading the Northeastern swimming and diving team to a third place finish of seven teams in the Dartmouth Invitational Friday and Saturday in White River Junction, Vt. Dartmouth College and Boston University finished first and second, respectively.
Prop bets range from the minutia of the game itself (will both teams make field goals of 33 yards or longer?) to speculation on the halftime show (will Beyonce’s hair be straight, curly or crimped at the beginning of her performance?).
