BROOKLINE, Mass. - In what ended up as their last game of the 2023 season, the Northeastern Huskies (4-7-6, 1-4-3 CAA) fell to No. 22 Hofstra (11-3-4, 5-1-2 CAA) by a final score of 2-1 on Saturday evening at Parsons Field.

Despite a heroic second-half free kick by Sebastian Restrepo and a strong goalkeeping effort by Gregor Shaw, the Huskies could not overcome the early deficit to keep their playoff hopes alive.

• Hofstra got on the board early with two goals in the third and sixth minutes for the early 2-0 lead.
• Restrepo hit his second goal of the season in the 52nd minute on a free kick about 25 yards out to cut into the Hofstra lead.
• Both sides created chances through the final 30 minutes of the game but both defenses held strong, with NU keeper Gregor Shaw making seven of his nine saves in the second half.
• With the loss, Northeastern is eliminated from playoff contention with six conference points - they needed nine to make it in to the CAA tournament. It's the first missed tournament for the Huskies since the spring 2021 season.
