Northeastern Loses CAA Championship

By Milton Posner WASHINGTON — Before the swarming zone defense, before the frantic scrambles for offensive rebounds, before the drives and the kickouts and the one-on-one brilliance, Tuesday night’s game was about vengeance.

Men’s Basketball Media Day

By Milton Posner The CAA Tournament is a funny thing. Save for the top six teams receiving a first-round bye — which Northeastern has — there isn’t much advantage in being a one seed instead of a six seed. This is especially true this season, in which the league’s almost ludicrous parity limits the matchup

Men’s Hockey Media Day

By Milton Posner It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for the Huskies. After losing star sophomore forward Tyler Madden to injury, the Huskies dropped two games against first-place Boston College, including their worst loss since 1992.

Men’s Hockey Swept by Vermont

By Jack Sinclair BURLINGTON, VT — Every season, every team, no matter the sport, goes through ups and downs. The 2007 Patriots rode high for 18 games, then fell in the Super Bowl.

Northeastern’s Convoluted Playoff Scenarios

By Milton Posner Claustrophobics beware. With one week remaining in the CAA’s men’s basketball regular season, just four games separate third and eight place, and just two games separate third and sixth.

Men’s Basketball Bests Drexel in Crucial Late-Season Matchup

By Milton Posner PHILADELPHIA — The last time Northeastern faced Drexel, the Huskies tore the Dragons up in every way imaginable.

Men’s Hockey Suffers Worst Loss in 27 Years

By Jack Sinclair As the regular season winds down, Northeastern’s eyes are set on the playoffs. The Hockey East playoffs begin with a best-of-three at home against the Vermont Catamounts on Thursday.

By Milton Posner Those moments when you’re riding high, when you feel invincible, when you feel like you have all the momentum and confidence . . . those are the moments you’re most likely to be smashed over the head with a hefty sledgehammer.

Men’s Hockey Sweeps UMass Lowell

By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Hockey East is the closest it’s ever been this late in the season. Coming into Saturday night, three points separated second and ninth place. Northeastern sat at the low end of that range, in a three-way tie for seventh with 19 points. UMass Lowell, with 22, was atop the scrum

Women’s Hockey Bests Providence, 4–1

By Jack Sinclair The Huskies have planted themselves atop the Hockey East standings and brought the Beanpot home, but their goals hardly end there.

Men’s Basketball Routs Cougars Behind Dominant Second Half

By Milton Posner BOSTON — You’d be forgiven for thinking that disaster was in store. As they entered Matthews Arena on Saturday morning, the Northeastern Huskies had lost five of their last seven contests, each one featuring a blown second-half lead, faltering defense, and lackluster rebounding. Their Saturday afternoon opponent seemed perfectly primed to exploit

By Alex Bensley LOWELL, Mass. — The Beanpot hangover did not make an appearance at the Tsongas Center in Lowell on Friday night.

Northeastern’s Beanpot Dynasty

By Christian Skroce “From 30 years, to three in a row, Northeastern is a Beanpot dynasty.” That was our final call on air Monday night as the Northeastern Huskies raised the Beanpot trophy for the third time in as many years. It was a moment that Husky players, coaches, fans, and yes, even radio guys,

IT’S A BEANPOT SWEEP!

By Dale Desantis BOSTON — It was déjà vu in the best way for the Huskies. Twenty-four hours after Jordan Harris’ game-winner propelled the men’s team to a Beanpot championship, Lauren MacInnis, refusing to let Harris be the only #2-wearing Husky defender to sink Boston University with a double-overtime goal, ended the night. It was

IT’S A THREE-PEAT!

By Christian Skroce BOSTON — The heart-attack Huskies just couldn’t help themselves. In a Beanpot final for the ages, one that lasted late into Monday night, it took two overtime periods to crown a 2020 champion, and the game of the decade did not disappoint. Boston University — which qualified for the game after another

Second-Half Woes Sink Men’s Basketball Again

By Milton Posner and Adam Doucette ELON, North Carolina — The last name the Northeastern Huskies visited the Elon Phoenix, dominant overtime play gave the Huskies an 11-point win and moved them to 2–2 in CAA play. That was January 10, 2019. It was also the last time the Huskies would possess a losing conference

Men’s Hockey Prevails, Pushing Past Providence

By Jack Sinclair BOSTON — An extra week off of the ice usually results in one of two things. Either the team returns rested and with fewer injuries, or they look sluggish and uneasy. Northeastern came off their 12-day break with nothing but benefits. They were rested, and the return of Julian Kislin after a

Women’s Hockey Clinches Second Straight Regular Season Championship

By Catherine Morrison BOSTON — Every major women’s hockey poll places Boston University as the eighth-best team in the nation. Although those polls place Northeastern third, the Huskies would be forgiven for taking every last game to edge BU out for the Hockey East crown. The Huskies didn’t need that many. They clinched on Friday.

Men’s Basketball and The Knight That Won’t End

By Milton Posner WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia — The green-and-gold-clad players leapt joyfully on the sidelines. The similarly dressed fans erupted into deafening cheers. And the scoreboard, for the final time on a frantic Thursday evening, changed its mind. But Northeastern fans who were paying attention — and perhaps even a few who weren’t — would have

Women’s Hockey Tops No. 8 BU

By Catherine Morrison BOSTON — Northeastern’s Tuesday game against rival Boston University was a nail-biter from start to finish. BU started out strong with a first-period goal from Deziray De Sousa. Northeastern is rarely behind at all, much less in the opening frame, and leads the nation with 42 first-period goals this season. However, the

CAA Men’s Basketball Has Gone Completely Insane

By Milton Posner If you took a shot every time a CAA coach, player, or commentator said the word “parity,” you’d probably wake up the next morning with a raging hangover, an empty wallet, a lower-back butterfly tattoo, and no clue how you wound up two cities over. It’s entirely justified. The Hofstra Pride, last

Women’s Hockey Very Vehemently Vanquishes Vermont

By Catherine Morrison Fifteen minutes into Saturday afternoon’s matchup with the Vermont Catamounts, Northeastern allowed a goal, the first in nearly three weeks.

Men’s Basketball Falls to Delaware, 76–74

By Milton Posner BOSTON — At the close of CAA action on Saturday, the Northeastern Huskies’ average margin of victory in conference play rested at 7.7 points, nearly three points better than the next-best team.

Men’s Basketball Destroys Drexel Dragons

By Michael Petillo BOSTON — Coming off a disappointing overtime loss to UNCW on Saturday, Northeastern returned to Matthews Arena Thursday night badly needing a bounce-back win.

Women’s Hockey Stymies UConn

By Christian Skroce BOSTON — The Northeastern women’s hockey team is making shutouts a trend, and we’re all for it.

Men’s Basketball Conquers the Cougars in Courageous Comeback

By Michael Petillo CHARLESTON, South Carolina — Coming off a pair of heartbreaking, buzzer-beating home defeats to William & Mary and Hofstra, the Northeastern Huskies marched into TD Arena Thursday night badly in need of a win.

Women’s Hockey Shuts out Boston College for Second Straight Game

By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Boston College and Northeastern. Cross-town rivals. The top two teams in Women’s Hockey East. Any time these two squads face off, it’s must-watch action. That said, there’s been a sizeable gap between the teams this season. Entering Sunday afternoon’s duel at Matthews Arena, the No. 3 Huskies had outscored the

Third-Period Comeback Falls Short as UNH Tops Men’s Hockey in OT

By Matt Neiser DURHAM, New Hampshire — “That effort tonight was unacceptable.” A clearly irritated Jim Madigan was none too happy with his team postgame, and for good reason. His Northeastern men’s hockey squad had just finished a Hockey East duel with New Hampshire in Durham, and suffice to say it certainly wasn’t their best

Men’s Basketball Falls to Hofstra on Pemberton’s Game-Winner

By Milton Posner Thursday night’s ending was a test of just how much déjà vu the college basketball gods can cram into one play.

Men’s Basketball Falls to Tribe on Knight’s Game-Winner

By Matt Neiser BOSTON — Entering Saturday’s games, three CAA men’s basketball teams boasted undefeated records.

The William & Mary Tribe, with long-time

Men’s Hockey Triumphs in Battle of the Huskies

By Milton Posner For years now, anyone who has strolled into SECU Arena to face Pat Skerry’s Towson Tigers has known exactly what they’re up against.

Men’s Basketball Tops Detroit Mercy to End Conference Play

By Milton Posner A matchup between Northeastern and Detroit Mercy a week before Christmas wouldn’t normally stir much national attention.

Men’s Basketball Falls to Eastern Michigan

By Milton Posner Anyone who glanced at a pre-game matchup sheet could hazard a guess at how Tuesday evening’s game would go.

Eastern Michigan, which entered ranked ninth in the nation in scoring defense, would use their height

Men’s Hockey Tops Dartmouth in Last Game of Decade

By Milton Posner BOSTON — Saturday afternoon’s game was, in many ways, similar to last Saturday’s contest against Boston University. Both games had chaotic second periods.

Men’s Basketball Falls to Davidson

By Milton Posner Many of Northeastern’s wins this season have resulted from a wave of improbable Jordan Roland shots.

Nineteen Turnovers Sink Men’s Basketball Against Drake

Men’s Hockey Finishes Sweep Over Maine

By Matthew Cunha Northeastern needed a comeback after entering the third period down 2–1, but goals from Neil Shea and Zach Solow allowed them to fend off Maine Saturday night at Matthews Arena.
