It’s week 3 of Northeastern football, and the Huskies wrap-up the home stand by facing non-conference opponent Youngstown State on Saturday. Here’s the rundown for the show:
- Breaking down last week’s loss to Maine – what went wrong, what looked good, and what can we look for on Saturday?
- Pete Mollica of the Youngstown Vindicator will be in Boston to cover Saturday’s game – we’ll talk with him about what Youngstown will bring to the table.
- Women’s soccer has a crucial non-conference rivalry game, hosting BU tonight. They’re now ranked #1 in the Mid-Atlantic region – with Veronica Napoli back in the starting lineup, are they unstoppable?
- Brad Thiessen and Joe Vitale returned to the ice earlier this week, this time in a pre-season tryout for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
- We recently toured the new Matthews Arena. We’ll share thoughts on the arena renovations.
- Plus, we have the 30/30 Husky Hotwire every half hour, the first Friday Night Six Pack, and Last Call.
Join Alex Faust, Jared Shafran, Keith Lavon, and the entire crew at 3:00 p.m., live on WRBB and WRBBsports.com.
