BOSTON -- The Huskies will hit the road again to take on crosstown rival Harvard University for game number three of their four-game road trip. Both teams enter the matchup having been victorious in their last five outings. This is the third straight season these two teams will meet for a mid-week matchup. Live stats will be available.
 
Last Time vs. The Crimson
The last meeting between Harvard and Northeastern came in late October of last season at Dedham Field. The Crimson won the game, 1-0, despite a strong performance from NU goalkeeper Cara Ahlgrim, who made three saves in the setback. Harvard scored a goal with just under four minutes left in the game. The Huskies registered 12 shots to the Crimson's 10.
 
Last time out
The Huskies extended their winning streak to five games with a 2-1 victory over UMass on Sunday, Sept. 21. Emma Lamison continued her strong start to the 2014 season by scoring two goals, including the game-winner against the Minutewomen. Becky Garner made 10 saves in the victory, one shy of her career-high. NU's second half dominance continued as both goals came in the game's final 35 minutes.
 
Huskies heating up

Northeastern ended its weekend with two victories pushing their winning streak to five games during the month of September. The team has defeated Providence, Dartmouth, New Hampshire, Monmouth and UMass since dropping the first two games of the season. Those two defeats came against Temple and Maryland at the Conference Cup at The Nook in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
 
Lamison sets new career-highs
Emma Lamison had two solid outings over the weekend in wins against Monmouth and UMass. The sophomore had two goals, including the game winner, against UMass en route to setting a new career-high for a single season with three goals. Against Monmouth, Lamison registered an assist on Vanessa Pryor's second-half goal.
 
Northeastern weekday wins
The Huskies are 5-5 in games during the week since the 2009 season. In three mid-week games vs. the Crimson NU has a 2-1 record.
 
On the horizon
After their game with the Crimson, the Huskies will wrap up their four-game road trip against another crosstown rival in Boston University. The game is set for Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m.
