BOSTON - The Northeastern women's soccer team looks to get back on the winning track when it plays at Towson on Thursday, Oct. 17, at 3 p.m. Northeastern had won four consecutive games before losing at Delaware, 2-0, on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Scouting Towson
The Tigers enter Thursday's match with a record of 7-8-1 (2-4-0 CAA). Towson lost its two most recent matches to a couple of the top teams in the conference, William & Mary and James Madison. W&M blanked the Tigers, 1-0, though Towson goalkeeper Erin Quinn made seven saves.  One game later, the Tigers suffered a heartbreaker to the Dukes, 2-1, when Towson lost on an own goal in double overtime. Emily Banes scored the game-tying goal for Towson in the 76th minute against JMU. Banes leads the CAA with 16 goals and she is tied for the conference lead with 30 points (Hofstra's Sam Scolarici also has 30 points). 

All-time matchup
NU is 4-8-1 all time against Towson. The Huskies won their last game against the Tigers, 2-1, on Oct. 12, 2012. Hannah O'Donnell scored the game-winning goal for NU in the 62nd minute and Hanna Terry recorded an assist in the winning effort.

Terry taking shots
Hanna Terry, Northeastern's lone senior and team captain, leads the CAA in both shots (46) and shots per game (3.29). Hanna Terry is second on the team with nine points on two goals and five assists.

Burnett's blank sheet
Northeastern's 1-0 win at Drexel marked Paige Burnett's third shutout of the season, all of which are against CAA opponents. She matched her total from 2012 when she blanked conference opponents three times.

Around the CAA (Oct. 7-13)
William & Mary sophomore forward Katie Johnston was named CAA Player of the Week after tallying the game-winning goal to give the Tribe a 1-0 win over Towson. The Tribe improved to 4-0-0 in the CAA and are unbeaten in their last 11 games. UNCW freshman goalkeeper Carolyn Huddy was named the CAA Rookie of the Week after she earned her first-career shutout in the Seahawks' 1-0 win over College of Charleston. 

This date in history: Oct. 17
In 2008, the Huskies handily beat visiting Georgia State, 3-0. The win improved NU's record to 8-6-1 on the season. Northeastern is 3-4-0 all time on October 17.

Drexel recap
The Huskies won their fourth-consecutive game when they topped Drexel, 1-0, Friday, Oct. 11. Lahaina Zoller scored her second goal of the season for the Huskies and Paige Burnett tallied seven saves for her third shutout of the year. The NU defense, backed by Burnett, has shutout the opposition in three of its last four games. The Huskies have allowed only one goal (vs. UNCW) during that stretch. Drexel, which entered Friday night's match having scored only one goal in its previous seven games, put a lot of offensive pressure on the Huskies in the first half. The Dragons outshot the Huskies, 7-3, in the opening period. However, the shots-on-goal battle was closer, with the Dragons holding a 3-2 edge. Burnett made a pair of saves in the final 10 minutes of the first period to ensure a scoreless tie entering the break. The Huskies have held opponents scoreless in the first half in five of their last six games. Hanna Terry tallied her fifth assist of the season when she carried the ball down the left side of the field and connected with Zoller on a crossing pass in the 51st minute to give NU the 1-0 lead. Burnett made two saves in the final three minutes of regulation to seal the win. NU and Drexel finished tied in shots (12) and shots on goal (7). Morgan Hilby led the Huskies with four shots, all of which were on goal.

Delaware recap
NU had its four-game winning streak snapped when it lost 2-0 at Delaware Sunday, Oct. 13. The Huskies were stifled by the Blue Hens' defense as NU managed just two shots on goal. Delaware goalkeeper Jessica Levy made a stop on Morgan Hilby in the fourth minute and saved an attempt by Hanna Terry in the 87th minute. The Blue Hens jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when Emily Market netted a goal in the sixth minute. Delaware took the one-goal advantage into halftime as NU goalkeeper Paige Burnett kept the Huskies within striking distance by recording four saves in the first period. On the offensive end in the opening period, the Huskies managed three shots and three corner kicks. Delaware increased its lead to 2-0 in the 55th minute when Andrea Arnold gathered the ball off a deflection and found the back of the net. Despite firing just two shots on goal, the Huskies managed to win the battle in corner kicks, 7-4.
