January brought a glut of games, a historical winning streak for the basketball team, and an unforgettable trip to Fenway Park:

January 8, 2010 - Frozen Fenway

Despite losing to UNH 5-3, Northeastern women’s hockey entered the spotlight in front of thousands of fans at Fenway Park in a historic outdoor game, the first of its kind at the collegiate level.

January 23, 2010 - Basketball sweeps VCU

In front of nearly 3,000 at Matthews Arena, Northeastern completed its historic sweep over the VCU Rams, giving the Huskies their 11th-consecutive victory.

January 30, 2010 - Huskies take down ODU

Despite the winning streak coming to a close the game prior, Northeastern stormed back to a thrilling home victory over eventual CAA champions Old Dominion. This time, Matthews Arena broke the 3,000 attendance marker for the first time in years.

December 1, 2009 - Basketball hosts Providence

Despite the loss, it was the first time the Huskies hosted a Big East school in over a decade. With over 2,500 in attendance, NU put up a valiant effort only to fall short late in a great effort against a power conference team at Matthews Arena.

December 31, 2009 - Cable Car Classic

Northeastern basketball didn’t come away from this season totally empty-handed. They were able to best Kent State to win Santa Clara’s Cable Car Classic. In itself, the game was yet another back-and-forth fight that went down to the wire.

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.

On a special Frozen Four edition of the show, we talk about the lopsided first semifinal, the Ford Field venue, and NCAA Regionals. Since it’s officially the last show, we also look at former Northeastern players in the pros (including Jake Newton) and Alex thinks it’s a good idea to predict next year’s Hockey East champion, for some reason.

October 10, 2009 - Hockey’s win at Colorado College

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.

Northeastern athletics announced via e-mail yesterday that the basketball program received a gift of $100,000 from NU alumnus Hank Datelle.

Below is an excerpt of the e-mail:

BOSTON, Mass. - - Northeastern University Athletics Director Peter Roby today announced a $100,000 gift to the men’s basketball program from Hank Datelle of Atlanta, GA.

The gift will be utilized to support and enhance student-athlete recruiting. “This extremely generous gift from Hank Datelle will enhance our basketball program and will serve as the foundation of our goal towards sustained excellence in basketball,” said Peter Roby. All of us at Northeastern are grateful for Hank’s loyal commitment to the university.

Once again, we’ll be taking the summer off to work on the site over the off-season. Don’t worry, we’ll still have breaking news on the site and through our partners at the Huntington News, but over the off-season we will be establishing new blogs and more ways to give you the Huskies sports coverage you crave.

This September, we’ll be a part of the brand new wrbbradio.org, but the content you love here on WRBBSports.com will remain. Over the off-season, we’re also looking for suggestions on how we can improve our on-air product, as well as the work online. If you have a suggestion or want to join our team for the fall, e-mail us at sports@wrbbradio.org.
