BROOKLINE, Mass. – Sporting 16 shots and winning eight corners, the Northeastern men's soccer team was unable to chip away at a two-goal deficit as the Huskies lost their regular-season finale, 2-0, against Dartmouth on Tuesday night at Parsons Field.
 
Khori Bennett led NU with six shots, tying his season high for the third time. Bennett's best chance at a goal came during the 75th minute, when he headed a bullet straight at the Big Green's goalkeeper James Hickok, who punched the ball over the crossbar.
 
Christian McKenna notched three shots for the Huskies, while Daniel Arvidsson and Jonas Taenzer each finished with two. Lewis Aird, Gaku Lange, Kevin Carvalho rounded out the Huskies' 16 shots, which are tied for the second most the squad has amassed this year.
 
Northeastern finishes its first season under head coach Chris Gbandi with a 6-11-0 record, including a 3-5-0 mark during CAA play. Gbandi's six victories are the second most by a first-year head coach in program history (12 – Ed Matz, 1996). Although the Huskies end the year ranked eighth in the competitive CAA, NU finished only four points shy of third place.

• Dartmouth (16th minute): Roughly five minutes after Northeastern had won successive corners from the left and right flags, Dartmouth earned its first corner of the match along the left end line.
