HAMDEN, Conn. – Northeastern University rookie midfielder Thomas Vold notched his first career goal, that would end up serving as the game winner, as the Huskies (2-1-1) defeated the Quinnipiac Bobcats (1-1-1) by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Quinnipiac Soccer Stadium.

• Northeastern opened the scoring in the 60^th minute on a good run into the box by Kevin Ogudugu – his cross was deflected off several players and it fell to the feet of Fraser Brown who settled it and took the shot from inside the box.
• The Huskies quickly doubled the lead in the 63^rd minute after a Federico Tellez free kick from 20 yards out was saved, but the rebound fell to a charging Thomas Vold for the 2-0 lead.
• The Bobcats got a goal back in the 76^th minute as they converted a penalty kick.
• Despite late pressure from the Bobcats, Northeastern held Quinnipiac to no shots on goal in the final 10 minutes to secure the win.
• It's the second win in a row for the Huskies and the second straight game where they've handed a team their first loss of the season.
• Brown becomes the team's current goals leader (3) and points leader (6).
• Northeastern has now scored seven goals in the second half this season – they have eight total goals on the year.

 
The Huskies return home this Saturday, September 9 for a CAA match up with College of Charleston – kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. on FloFC.
