DEDHAM, Mass. – The Northeastern field hockey team wrapped up its 2016 campaign with a divisive 7-1 victory over Towson on Senior Day, Sunday at Dedham Field.
 
Six different Huskies (8-10, 2-4 CAA) recorded a goal in the victory, led by Laura MacLachlan's two while Natalie Stewart had one goal and four assists and Axelle Dewamme tallied her first collegiate goal as well as three assists in the win.
 
The Husky defense only allowed four shots on the day, all coming in the second half while Becky Garner needed to make just two saves on the day for the Huskies. Towson (2-17, 0-6 CAA) goalie Megan Boyle faced 31 shots, making 15 saves on the day.
 
Northeastern's first six goals came from six different Huskies as Jamie Bartucca hit the double-digit scoring mark with her first goal of the game and Natalie Stewart finished her senior campaign with a career high 12 assists, the most since Nicky Graham has 13 in the 2012 season.
 
Bartucca got the Huskies on the board first in the sixth minute of action when she netted her 10^th goal of the season, the first double-digit goal scorer since Lindsay Bennett had 11 goals in the 2013 season. Bartucca was helped out by freshman Dewamme who notched her fourth assist of the season to put the Huskies up early.
 
Off of the fourth penalty corner of the first half, Stewart took a shot at the goal that was directed in by Dewamme who placed herself perfectly just outside the left side of the goal to tally her first career goal and her first career multi-point effort in the Huskies' season finale.
 
The Huskies tallied back-to-back goals off of penalty corners as Kristin Abreu notched her third goal of the season while MacLachlan scored her sixth goal of the year to boost the Husky lead to 4-0 through the first 28 minutes of action.
 
Kellie Stigas made it a 5-0 game at the half for the Huskies, adding to the score with 30 seconds left in the half after ripping a shot stopped beautifully by Stewart off of Northeastern's ninth penalty corner of the half. Dewamme added yet another assist on the play while Stewart tallied her third assist of the game.
 
After the half, Towson notched its lone goal of the game on its first shot on goal of the game as Jenna Johnson snuck a shot past Garner to get the Tigers on the board, but the Huskies regained the five-goal advantage shortly after as Stewart recorded her first goal of the game off the Huskies 12^th penalty corner attempt on the day aided by MacLachlan, to push the Huskies' lead to 6-1.
 
MacLachlan added another goal to the board with just five minutes left in the game when she tacked on her second goal of the game via a penalty corner helped by Stewart and Dewamme who recorded their fourth and third assists of the game respectively.
 
The victory was the largest for the Huskies since a 7-1 win over UC Davis in the 2014 campaign.
