WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – A late penalty stroke with just 10 seconds left in the game recorded by Kristin Abreu gave the Northeastern field hockey team its first CAA win on the season Friday night.
 
The Huskies (4-9, 1-1 CAA) rallied back to tie William and Mary (5-8, 1-2) halfway into the second half and then used Abreu's penalty stroke to seal the deal and notch their first win in October and first CAA win of the season.
 
After William and Mary got on the board first just a couple of minutes into the second half, Northeastern tied the game up at one-all thanks to the first career goal of Mia Martin at 44:31. Martin was sent a pass by June Curry-Lindahl from the penalty spot and whipped a shot into the back of the goal to even the score.
 
Abreu took advantage of the penalty spot once more with her game-winner at the tail end of the second half as the Huskies earned the near walk-off victory.
 
Curry-Lindahl led all Huskies with four shots, three on goal and the assist on the night. Martin and Abreu's lone shot on goal on the night hit the back of the box for scores.
 
Becky Garner was solid in net for the Huskies allowing just one goal and stopping nine against the Tribe. The Huskies held William & Mary to just one goal for the first time since Sept. 26, 2010 when they shut out the Tribe 6-0.
 
The Huskies continue their CAA road trip when they head to Harrisonburg, Va. for a meeting with 18^th ranked James Madison on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at the JMU Field Hockey Complex.
