BOSTON - The Northeastern University men's soccer team (0-1-0) hosts its first home game of the season this Tuesday evening, August 27th against Boston University (0-0-1) at Parsons Field in Brookline. The game will stream at 6 p.m. on FloFC.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
 

1. DIRTY WATER DERBY

Northeastern and BU face off for the 36^th time in men's soccer program history, with the Terriers leading the all-time series 23-10-2. The two teams played to a 1-1 draw last season at Nickerson Field after a late BU goal in the 82^nd minute drew things even – the Huskies had taken a 1-0 lead just before halftime on a BU own goal. The last time the two teams met in Brookline, the Huskies overcame a two-goal deficit in the second half with goals from Harry Sankey (62') and Fraser Brown (86') to win 2-1.

2. HOME SWEET HOME

Tuesday's game serves as Northeastern's home opener for the 2024 season – the Huskies play host to nine games at Parsons Field this fall, including a stretch of four straight home contests starting with the BU match.

3. LAST TIME OUT

The Huskies fell by a score of 3-1 on Thursday evening at Rutgers in their season opener – down 2-0 approaching half time, Sebastian Restrepo hit a perfect free kick from the top of the 18 to cut into the deficit, giving Northeastern momentum heading into the second half, but a Rutgers goal against the run of play in the 55^th minute sealed the game for the Scarlet Knights.
 
Northeastern stays home for its next three contests following BU, hosting non-conference foe Siena on Sunday, September 1^st, before beginning CAA play the following Saturday, September 7^th against Campbell. Both games will stream on FloFC, and NU's match against Campbell will be simulcast on NESN+.
