BROOKLINE, Mass. – Gifted with an early own goal by Elon, the Northeastern women's soccer team put on a defensive clinic during Sunday's Senior Day outing at Parsons Field, receiving a second half insurance goal from Kerri Zerfoss as the Huskies posted their fifth straight shutout victory in 2-0 fashion against the Phoenix.
 
With the win, Northeastern (9-6-1, 6-0-0 CAA) tied its program-record winning streak – six consecutive matches – for the third time (2000, 2003) while extending its program-best, undefeated CAA start (18 points).
 
The Huskies caught an early break at the expense of Elon (3-6-3, 1-3-0 CAA) during the 14th minute, when Makenzie DePriest-Kessler errantly headed Hannah Rosenblatt's 35-yard free kick into the net, barely missing the outstretched, attacking cleat of Eve Goulet.
 
Northeastern continued to dominate time of possession well into the second half, scoring its second goal during the 66th minute. After a flurry of midfield passes by the Huskies, Valentina Soares Gache lofted her first touch to the open Emily Evangelista along the right flank, where Evangelista crossed into Zerfoss for the header goal from eight yards away.
 
Nathalie Nidetch made three saves en route to keeping her fifth consecutive clean sheet – the 21st of her collegiate career. Nidetch and Northeastern successfully extended their scoreless defensive streak to 496:32 consecutive minutes.
