BROOKLINE, Mass. – In a non-conference match up, the Northeastern Huskies (2-4-7) defeated the Dartmouth Big Green (4-5-3) by a score of 4-2 on Tuesday evening at Parsons Field.
 
Goals came early and often for the Huskies, who tallied a goal in the opening three minutes of play, and three unanswered goals from the 40th to the 53rd minute to eventually lead 4-1 midway early in second half.
 

• Northeastern struck first in the third minute on a cross from the left side of the box delivered by Jaden Prado, finding Ethan Franco crashing the goal line to tap it in for the 1-0 lead.
• Dartmouth answered back on a breakaway in the 30^th minute to tie it 1-1.
• The Huskies were able to pull back in front in the 40^th minute when Neil Devnani was taken down in the penalty area, giving Fraser Brown a penalty kick opportunity. Brown picked his spot and buried it to the left of the keeper for the 2-1 lead.
• NU continued its run of three unanswered goals just minutes into the second half, when a corner kick from Morris Matthews bounced off Mathias Hille, Griffin Polinsky, and eventually found the foot of a diving Connor Lawlor, chipping in his first career goal to give the Huskies a 3-1 lead.
• In the 53^rd minute, Sebastian Restrepo picked off an errant back pass from the Big Green defense and sprinted to the 18 yard box and fired a shot over the keeper for the 4-1 lead.
• Dartmouth looked to claw back into it in the 57^th minute, tallying its second goal on free kick from about 20 yards out, but the Northeastern defense snuffed out any trouble in the final 30 minutes of play.
• Franco's goal was the first of his Husky career after tallying 11 career goals for DIII Colby College.
• Brown's penalty kick conversion gives him goals in back to back appearances, after tallying the game-tying goal last Saturday at Charleston.
• It's the second time this season the Huskies have tallied four goals in a match – both of those contests took place at Parsons Field.
• Northeastern is now on a five-game unbeaten streak, stretching all the way back to September 24th.

 
 
The Huskies stay home for their next CAA game which takes place this Saturday, October 19^th at 1 p.m. against Delaware. That game will stream on FloFC.
