February 2, 2010 - Down by 15, win by 20

Hofstra appeared to be in control early, but Northeastern came back to take a dominating win, scoring 45 points in the second half, maintaining first place in the standings.

February 19, 2010 - Hockey steals one from BC

Continuing a mid-season surge, Northeastern hockey gave fans hope for a late-season comeback when it defeated Boston College in front of a near-sellout crowd at Matthews Arena.

February 20, 2010 - Bracketbuster vs. Louisiana Tech

Despite the outcome of the game, the raucous crowd of over 4,400 at Matthews Arena was the culmination of years of resurrecting Northeastern basketball. An appearance on ESPN2 drew unprecedented buzz leading up to game day, and likely created countless new fans.

Here are our picks for the top highlights from November of this season.

November 6, 2009 - Hockey vs. Boston University

This one had all the ingredients: sell-out crowd, rivalry game, two nationally ranked teams, one of them the defending national champion. Chris Rawlings stops 43 shots and NU holds on for an incredible four-plus minutes on the penalty kill at the end to seal one of the most dramatic hockey victories in the past decade.

November 14, 2009 - Final home football game

Though few knew it at the time, this rain-soaked homecoming game at Parsons Field would be the last home game for Northeastern football. Ending in a bizarre finish, the Huskies beat Hofstra 14-13. Their opponents, ironically, would cut football just weeks after Northeastern did.

November 28, 2009 - “The Buzzer-Beater”

The game itself was exciting, but it was Chaisson Allen’s buzzer-beater to win it that drew nearly 100,000 views on Youtube. For a different perspective, listen to WRBB’s call of the final shot - one of the top moments of the basketball season.

After giving up two goals on the first two shots the night before, Northeastern responds to win its first game of the season on the road in Colorado Springs.

October 24, 2009 - Football vs. Towson

Northeastern football finally breaks through for its first victory of the season, with a blend of unconventional plays and exciting offensive sequences. They take a decisive 27-7 win over the Towson Tigers.

October 31, 2009 - Women’s soccer wins regular season title

Huskies women’s soccer earns the right to host the CAA tournament for the first time, defeating Hofstra 4-0.

Most of the same criteria for finishing positions are still available, but UMass’ victory over Maine Friday night puts Northeastern in a must-win situation Saturday night.

There are now three different outcomes Northeastern can get this weekend: anywhere from 0-2 points.

  • With 0 points, NU can finish 8th or 9th
  • With 1 point, NU can finish 6th through 9th
  • With 2 points, NU can finish 5th through 7th

The outcomes below take into account the whole weekend of action and only includes outcomes that are still mathematically possible.

1st-4th place are mathematically impossible.

To finish 5th:

  • If Northeastern splits with BU:
    • Lowell must get at least 3 points from Vermont AND
    • Providence must get at least 1 point from Merrimack

To finish 6th:

  • If Northeastern gets only 1 point from BU:
    • Vermont must be swept by Lowell OR
    • Providence must get at least 2 points from Merrimack
  • If Northeastern splits with BU:
    • Vermont must get at least 2 points from Lowell OR
    • Merrimack sweeps Providence

To finish 7th:

  • If Northeastern gets only 1 point from BU:
    • Vermont must get at least 1 point from Lowell OR
    • Merrimack gets at least 3 points from Providence OR
    • UMass sweeps Maine
  • If Northeastern splits with BU:
    • Vermont must get 2-3 from Lowell AND
    • Merrimack must sweep Providence

To finish 8th:

  • If Northeastern gets swept by BU:
    • Merrimack must get at least 2 points from Providence OR
    • UMass gets at least 3 points from Maine
  • If Northeastern gets only 1 point from BU, two of these scenarios must happen:
    • Vermont gets at least 1 point from Lowell
    • Merrimack gets at least 3 points from Providence
    • UMass sweeps Maine

To finish 9th:

  • If Northeastern gets swept by BU:
    • Merrimack must get at least 2 points from Providence AND
    • UMass gets at least 3 points from Maine
  • If Northeastern gets only 1 point from BU:
    • Vermont gets at least 1 point from Lowell AND
    • Merrimack gets at least 3 points from Providence AND
    • UMass sweeps Maine
