BOSTON – Returning to the confines of Parsons Field – the site of its 3-0, season-opening shutout against Niagara – the Northeastern men's soccer team will look to pick up three non-conference points on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 3), when the Huskies collide with New Hampshire at 1 p.m.
SERIES HISTORY
• Northeastern seeks its first win against New Hampshire since 2014, when the Huskies rode freshman
Jonathan Thuresson's five-save clean sheet to the 1-0 victory on Aug. 29 at Parsons Field.
Harry Swartz, now a redshirt-senior captain, made his collegiate debut that night, starting and playing all 90 minutes. Swartz is Northeastern's active career leader in appearances (58).
• NU opened the 2017 regular season at New Hampshire, where it managed to keep UNH off the scoreboard during regulation, withstanding an 11-3 deficit in shot attempts. During overtime, NU surrendered a penalty to the Wildcats during the 100th minute, leading to Chris Arling's match-winning conversion at the dot.
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
• Northeastern's five goals scored through its first three matches of 2018 reflect the fastest scoring pace that NU has witnessed since 2013.
• The Huskies won two of their three home matches against the America East during the 2017 season.
• Despite riding consecutive 2-1 defeats, Northeastern has twice been able to score equalizing goals during regulation to force extra time. Against LIU Brooklyn (Aug. 27),
Ryan Massoud headed in
Frankie de la Camara's corner during the 80th minute to level the match. On Friday at Vermont,
Harry Swartz drew the penalty that prompted
Moustapha Samb to equalize during the 52nd minute.
• NU is outscoring its opponents, 5-1, during the second half.
