Box Score | Infographic

DEDHAM, Mass. – On a crisp, fall, Friday night at Dedham Field, the Northeastern field hockey team fell 3-0 to Hofstra in just its second CAA home game of the season.
 
Northeastern dropped to 4-12 overall and 1-3 CAA while Hofstra improved to 12-4 on the year and 2-1 in conference action.
 
The Huskies were led by Alyssa Carlson, who was all over the field for Northeastern. Carlson came up clutch for NU making a defensive save near the end of the second half with a wide open net to prevent the Pride from adding another goal to the total.
 
Becky Garner finished the game with six saves in a full 70 minutes of action. She now has 110 saves on the year, one shy of her career best mark of 111 saves made during her freshman season.
 
Two of Hofstra's goals came at the hands of Claudia Marin Samper, who tallied her 16th and 17th goals of the season. Marin Samper used a rebound from a penalty corner shot to get the Pride on the board in the first half for a 1-0 halftime lead.
 
After Simca Schoen notched her 11th goal of the year, once again utilizing a penalty corner opportunity, Marin Samper walloped a shot into the circle that went off of a Northeastern defender and into the back of the net.
 
The Huskies will finish out the regular season next weekend beginning with their final away game of the season at Towson on Friday night at 6 p.m. The weekend will round out with Senior Day on Sunday afternoon vs. No. 15 Delaware at 2 p.m.
