SERIES HISTORY
 
• Northeastern has won five consecutive matches against UNCW – each with a one-goal margin of victory – and has prevailed during eight of the last 10 meetings. NU leads the all-time series, 9-5-0.
 
• Considering the Huskies' five-match series winning streak, Northeastern has either led UNCW or been on level pegging with the Seahawks during 92.6 percent of minutes played.
 
• NU is 5-2-0 when opposing UNCW at Parsons Field (Northeastern has won three straight).
 
• The Huskies and the Seahawks share one postseason meeting during the 2008 CAA quarterfinals. Sixth-seeded Northeastern upset third-seeded UNCW, 1-0, en route to winning the program's first CAA title.
 
WHAT 2 WATCH 4
 
• Hannah Rosenblatt leads the CAA in goals scored (six) and ties for the 33rd most in Division I. Rosenblatt (career: 28 goals, 63 points) enters Sunday's match needing two goals to tie Kristen Kowalik for second place on the Huskies' all-time goals list and two points to tie Greta Samuelsdottir for third place on the program's all-time points list.
 
• Mikenna McManus' six assists are tied for the sixth most in Division I. McManus is three assists shy of tying Kayla Cappuzzo's single-season record (2017).
 
• Katarina Nilsson's Sept. 20 goal at Delaware – the first of her collegiate career – marked the Huskies' eighth goal of the season that was scored off a set piece. Following the goal, NU improved to 4-0-0 this year when scoring the first goal of the match.
 
• Northeastern and UNCW both possess nine different goal scorers, which together tie with Hofstra and James Madison for the most in the CAA.
 
• Nathalie Nidetch (16 career clean sheets) is looking to keep her first clean sheet since opening night against Connecticut (Aug. 17).
 
• Sunday will mark the end of a 17-day interruption to UNCW's regular season by Hurricane Florence. The Seahawks have had two consecutive matches postponed due to the storm.
 
• Prior to Hurricane Florence's arrival, UNCW had won four straight matches and not conceded a goal during its last 238:51 minutes of match time (since Aug. 31 against Kent State).
