DURHAM, N.H. – A resurgence of offensive play by the Northeastern men's soccer team during the second half was overshadowed by a pair of goals coming in quick succession from the home side as the Huskies were defeated, 3-0, by New Hampshire on Wednesday night at Wildcat Stadium.
 
Limited to two shots and none on goal during the opening 45 minutes, NU rebounded and attempted nine shots during the remainder of the match, despite not finding the back of the net. Entering as a halftime reserve, Khori Bennett fueled three shots for Northeastern (2-5-0), having his best chance saved during the 64th minute.
 
Chris Arling scored two goals for New Hampshire (7-1-0), increasing his team lead to seven and sandwiching them around Jack Dickson's goal during the 51st minute. Arling's second goal of the match came six minutes after Dickson's, putting the Wildcats in front by three with a half hour to play.
 
Matt Dabrowski stifled three shots before UNH was able to sneak one by during the 18th minute. The freshman goalkeeper ultimately closed the first half with five saves and finished the match with seven, tying his season high.
  
GOAL RECAPS
 
• New Hampshire (18th minute): UNH midfielder Jack Dickson received a 45-yard lead pass along the left side of the pitch, establishing possession while in stride. Edward Okey chased Dickson down, but not before Dickson had turned the corner and crossed the ball to Chris Arling, who directed a one-timer behind Matt Dabrowski.
• New Hampshire (51st minute): Ackim Mpofu made a hard challenge roughly five yards inside of the Wildcats' attacking third, resulting in his second yellow card of the year. On the ensuing set piece, Chris Wingate crossed a ball from the left side to the right post, where Lalaina Randriamanantena headed the ball over to Dickson, who scored from the left post.
• New Hampshire (57th minute): Chris Arling made an unassisted run up the left side of the pitch, sending a laser past Dabrowski for his second goal of the match.
