BOSTON—Highlighted by 28 points from junior Stephen Sollowin, the Northeastern men's track and field team walked away with a hard fought, third-place team finish at the New England Championships this weekend at Boston University.

Southern Connecticut State claimed the team-title with 118 points, while 99 points earned Rhode Island the second-place spot. The Huskies took third after recording 96 points on the weekend.
