The Huskies were outscored 16-1 at the free-throw line and the Pride tallied 14 second-chance points.

Shaquille Walters filled the stat sheet with 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals. Jordan Roland added 11 points for the Huskies and now has 722 points, No. 2 all-time in single-season history, surpassing the late great Reggie Lewis' 714 points in the 1985-86 season and behind Lewis' 1984-85 season where he scored 748 points. Roland also made three 3-pointers tonight, pushing his season total to 95, No. 3 all-time in school history.

The game featured eight lead changes and six ties. The Huskies trailed 52-50 with 5:40 remaining in the game when Boursiquot and Roland were both dinged for their fourth fouls. The Pride would take advantage with an 8-2 run to seize control of the game. Hofstra scored 20 points off NU's 10 turnovers and made 16-of-17 foul shots for an impressive 94 percent.

The Huskies became just the fifth program in CAA history to reach three consecutive CAA title games. Northeastern was just the third No. 6 seed to reach the final, and first since George Mason in 2007.
