Overall, it was a successful trip for the Huskies, who hadn’t won an away game at Alfond Arena in over three years. After going 1-0-1 in that same arena this weekend, it’s fair to say the Huskies have remedied their struggles up north.
Playing in their first Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament game since 2014, the Northeastern men’s soccer team (6-9-1, 3-4-1 CAA) fell in a first round 1-0 loss to Hofstra (9-6-4, 5-2-1) in their final game of the season.
Last season, the team welcomed goalie Aerin Frankel to the squad, starting the year as backup to Bugalski. It quickly became apparent just how talented Frankel is and it was not long before Frankel was earning the start between the pipes.
The Huskies, who beat UMass Lowell 4-1 on their home turf two weeks ago, came out on top against the River Hawks again Saturday night in a nail-biting overtime victory courtesy of a beautiful goal from fourth-year forward Patrick Schule.
Basketball fans at Matthews Arena were treated to a thrilling season opener on Tuesday that came down to the final shot. In the end, Northeastern men’s basketball fell to the Boston University Terriers by a score of 77-74 after senior guard Vasa Pusica missed on a difficult three point attempt at the buzzer.
The Huskies were looking to win their fourth straight series against BU for the first time since 1989, but after ending Thursday night’s wild game in a tie and losing Saturday’s match 1-4, the hopes of continuing their streak died.
When the Colonial Athletic Association, or CAA, announced its end of season awards, three Huskies were named to the All-CAA First Team: fourth-year midfielder Valentina Soares Gache, fourth-year goalkeeper Nathalie Nidetch and second-year defender Julianne Ross.
Northeastern men’s basketball continues to make a name for itself, being named the Colonial Athletic Association Preseason Favorite. The team received 35 first place votes which beat out last year’s conference champions the University of Charleston.
Not long after the two quick goals by Ward and Mueller, Aurard blasted one past Pelletier on the powerplay to extend the lead to four goals. Mueller received a pass from Hobson along the blue line and faked out the defenders with a great shot fake before passing it cross-ice to Aurard at the far post, who quickly fired off a high shot.
I wanted to reach out and thank each and every one of you for your tremendous enthusiasm at last Thursday’s game against Boston University. Your energy was palpable from the opening puck drop to the final second of overtime, on a Thursday no less!
Hundreds of thousands of spectators and athletes lined the Charles River this weekend, eager to watch the spectacle of the Head of the Charles Regatta. The regatta, which took place between Oct. 20 and 21, featured teams from around the world, including Northeastern’s men’s and women’s rowing.
