BOSTON -- The Northeastern Huskies will play host to their New England rivals Dartmouth and New Hampshire at Dedham Field this weekend. The Huskies and the Big Green meet on Friday, Sept 12. Two days later NU faces off against UNH. Live statistics, video, and audio will be available for both games.
 
Last time vs. the Big Green
Northeastern and Dartmouth last met at Dedham field during the 2013 season in mid-September with the Huskies walking away with a 5-0 victory. Despite being outshot 19-11, four current members of the squad – Vanessa Pryor, Caroline Judge, Emmy Zweserijn, and Natalie Stewart – all registered a goal in the game. Goalkeeper Becky Garner made five saves in the win, the first shutout of her career. Fellow goalkeeper Cara Ahlgrim also made an appearance in the game, making two saves.
 
Last time vs. the Wildcats
The last time these two teams squared off New Hampshire earned a 3-1 victory over NU. Becky Garner made five saves, but allowed three goals in the setback. The Huskies' lone goal came courtesy of Natalie Stewart, who dribbled in from eight yards out and lifted the ball over the goalkeeper. 
 
Stewart has career day
Natalie Stewart, a member of the All-CAA preseason team, had a fantastic outing against Providence. She registered a career-high six points in the outing; the sophomore had one goal and four assists. The four assists tied her total from the 2013 season.
 
Carlson climbing back
After missing last season, redshirt junior Kate Carlson registered her first points of the season by scoring a goal against Providence, and setting up another later in the game. The goal came off a penalty corner set up by Emma Lamison and Natalie Stewart.
  
Murtagh faces alma mater
Head coach Cheryl Murtagh, a 1981 graduate of New Hampshire, will face her alma mater for the 35th time as head coach of the Northeastern Huskies. She is 23-11 vs. the Wildcats, including postseason action.
 
Huskies leading the way
Through three games this season NU is ranked sixth in the nation in assist per game, averaging 3.67. Compared to their conference foes, the Huskies also own the top spot in assists per game (3.67) as well as defensive saves (1), and points per game (9.00).
 
On the horizon
The Huskies will hit the road next weekend and take on Monmouth on Friday, Sept. 19 and Massachusetts two days later on Sunday, Sept. 21.

STUDENTS: Buses will be available to shuttle fans to Dedham Field and back to campus for both events. They will be leaving Chicken Lou's at 3:45 and 4:15 pm for Friday's game. For Sunday's game, the buses will depart at 12:45 and 1:15 p.m.
