The last-second play that head coach Bill Coen drew up with 18 seconds left in last night’s game turned into as big of a frenzy as the season-record 3,463 Matthews Arena crowd. After a near-turnover and a Jonathan Lee pass, the ball ended up in the hands of freshman David Walker.
The Northeastern men’s and women’s track teams ended regular season competition with a successful showing at the Boston University Fast Meet at BU last Thursday, with numerous Huskies taking advantage of their last chance to qualify for the New England championships.

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.

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.

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.

After a week of built up anticipation and excitement, Northeastern’s hopes of ending the school’s quarter-century long Beanpot drought came up short Monday night at TD Garden.

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.
