BOSTON DERBY
Northeastern will look to claim its eighth all-time victory against Boston University on Tuesday and first home win in its second try since 2008. NU has been unsuccessful in earning a point against the Terriers during each of the last three series meetings spanning the last four seasons (2013, 2014, 2016). The two programs played to their only draw on Nov. 6, 1996, at Parsons Field. Overall, the Huskies are 4-8-1 when playing BU at home.
Â
HOME VERSUS AWAY
Â
While NU have scored during four of its five home matches (2-3-0) this season, the Terriers have only scored during four of their eight road matches (3-5-0), despite BU having combined to net seven goals during its last four away contests (3-1-0). Six of
Jonathan Thuresson's 11 career clean sheets have also come at Parsons Field.
Â
WITH A WIN
Â
Northeastern would collect its third home victory of the season and first during non-conference play since Sept. 9, when the Huskies downed No. 12 UMass Lowell, 2-1, on
Martin Nygaard's 108th-minute penalty kick.
Â
CAA TABLE
Â
With two weeks remaining in the 2017 regular season, the Huskies sit in a tie for eighth place in the CAA with Drexel. Northeastern's final two league matches of the year will take place on Oct. 21 at home against James Madison (1 p.m.) and on Oct. 28 at UNCW (7 p.m.).
Â
UP NEXT
