Men’s cross country has finished in 2nd place at each of the last four CAA Championships.

2024’s runner up performance came in particularly devastating fashion, with Ryan Lesley finishing less than one second behind Stony Brook’s Michael Hawkes. That positioning proved to be crucial as Stony Brook captured the conference title by a single point.

If the Huskies want to get over the hump this season, they’ll have to do it with a much younger squad, as their top three runners at last year’s CAAs have graduated.

Some promising underclassmen will be called upon to fill the void. This group includes sophomore Nico Boyle, who seems to already be making great strides in his second year with a 6k personal best by almost a minute. Also in this group are freshman newcomers Dawson French and Jack Seagroatt, who both record top 10 finishes in the Friar Invitational to kick off the season.

The men’s soccer team struggled, as the offense sputtered and the defense committed some costly penalty area infractions.

The deciding blow came early in this game, as the Eagles converted 10th-minute penalty kick for the only goal of the game. It wasn’t for a lack of opportunity, as Northeastern’s 14 shot attempts were a season-high. Neil Devnani registered a good opportunity at an equalizer, but it was turned down by the Boston College goalkeeper:

Tobias Jahn was sturdy in goal, with the only blemish on the penalty kick.

In a near-repeat of their mid-week game, Northeastern allowed an early penalty kick goal that set the tone for the remainder of the game. Just over 3 minutes into the action, Christoph Schurz committed an infraction in the penalty area, awarding a penalty kick to CAA preseason player of the year Laurie Goddard.

From that point forward, the game was thoroughly controlled by Hofstra, as they pushed the lead to 3-0 before the Huskies — courtesy of Ethan Kang — could finally find the back of the net.

The Huskies showed some grit against tough opponents. Despite looking overmatched at many times this week, they stayed competitive in both games, earning a result in match #2 of the week.

From the start, Brown assembled an all-out barrage on the Northeastern goal. A heroic effort for Eliza Teplow kept the game semi-competitive, as it remained scoreless at the halfway point.

The Bears finally broke through in the second half, and the Huskies struggled to mount a counterattack. When all was said and done, Brown outshot Northeastern 27-5, walking away with a 2-0 victory.

It was a lopsided game on the stat sheet, but Northeastern made good use of their one shot on goal, as it found the back of the net off the foot of Claire Murray.

Murray’s second half goal came as the equalizer to an early first-half goal from Harvard, and it allowed the Huskies to leave Harvard with a draw.

The Huskies participated in the Big Apple Tournament at Columbia University. All three matches featured compelling swings in momentum, and Northeastern locked in at important moments to secure a winning record for the weekend.

The Huskies fell to the Rams in a match that was much more hotly contested than the final score might indicate. Ultimately, the difference in the match came down to errors: While Northeastern out-killed Fordham 61-53, they committed 11 more errors over the four-set match (28-17)

A furious comeback from being down 19-10 in the fourth set gave the Huskies a chance to force a decisive fifth set, but they came up just short in a 26-24 thriller.

The Huskies and Lions split the first 2 sets, leading up to a hotly contest third set. In a back-and-forth bout, neither team could extend a lead beyond 3 points. It was only after each team had reached the 25-point threshold that Northeastern was able to score three straight points and capture the set.

Using that momentum, Northeastern rolled in set #4 as Columbia faltered with 11 errors.

Kaylin Daniels recorded 12 kills, and Nadia Koanui registered 6 aces; both of which matched career highs for the players

After the first two sets, the Huskies appeared on their way to steamrolling through the Chargers, out-scoring them 50-35 and out-killing them 33-15. However, an adjustment by New Haven in set #3 tilted the match, and soon the squads were headed for decisive 5th set.

The Huskies fell behind 6-3 before they were able to shift the momentum back in their favor, pressuring the Chargers into a flurry of attack errors that flipped the score for good.

Valentina Meirelles set a career high with 16 kills.

The Huskies took home first place at the Friar Invitational for their first meet win since 2023. Three Northeastern runners finished in the top 10, with sophomore Nico Boyle leading the pack with a third place finish.

The Huskies continued their strong start to the season, pushing their record to 3-0 for the first time since 2019. A dynamic offense has been key to their success, as they’ve already scored 4 goals twice — a mark they didn’t reach until 11 games into the season last year.

Lots of new faces are hitting the score sheet, which is a big reason for the early-season onslaught:

The Huskies faced their first deficit of the season as the Riverhawks recorded an early goal to break the ice. However, a quick answer came from Emmy Stubbs, who evened things up before the end of the 1st period.

The goals came fast and furious in the second half, including a stretch of four total goals in just under 6 minutes of play between the end of the third period and the start of the fourth. In the midst of all those goals, the deciding blow of the game came from Camille Armaganian with a penalty stroke goal:

A whirlwind of a first 5 minutes featured one goal from Holy Cross and two goals from Northeastern. Included in the mix was Emilia Adragna’s first score of the season.

The Huskies put the game out of reach in the second half with quick strikes from Julia Puccio and Lilly Smith.
