Devin Petta scored her eighth and ninth goals of the season as the Huskies defeated Towson 2-0 on Friday. It was Northeastern's first-ever win at the Towson Center Soccer Complex.

The Tigers racheted up the intensity in the second half, firing 14 shots, but just three on net. In the 84th minute, Petta struck again to seal the game, on a breakaway from Sandra Magnusdottir's pass. It was Magnusdottir's third assist of the season.
