BOSTON – The Northeastern field hockey team is back in action on Sunday, Sept. 9 when the Huskies play host to No. 18 Wake Forest at Dedham Field at 12 p.m. This marks the second trip to Dedham Field for the Demon Deacons, while the Huskies are looking for their first ever program victory over Wake Forest.
 
THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
 

1. Home Opening Victory!

 
• Last weekend the Huskies took part in just one game, but it came in the form of a home opener against Holy Cross at Dedham Field
• For the 12th-straight meeting, Northeastern came away with a victory over the Crusaders
• The 2-1 victory was thanks in part to a pair of goals from Camille O'Conor and four key saves from Julia Gluyas
 

2. Taking on the Atlantic Coast Conference

 
• The Huskies will face three ACC opponents in 2018, all of the games coming at Dedham Field
• Northeastern has faced every Atlantic Coast Conference team, with a field hockey program, at least once in program history, earning a victory over each of them, with the exception of one
• The Huskies and Wake Forest have squared off the fewest amount of times among all ACC programs (2), and the Demon Deacons have come away with wins both times
