• The Huskies bounced back just before the half with a goal from graduate student back Lauren Rowe, who scored off a penalty corner with 1:58 remaining on the clock for her first of the season. Graduate student back Caroline Sweeney and senior back Maria Armaganian supplied the assists.
• Junior midfielder Emmy Stubbs provided the equalizer, sending a shot from senior midfielder Lara Taylor that trickled over the goalkeeper's pads to make it 2-2 with 8:15 remaining in the third.
• Sophomore forward Alex Mega grabbed the go-ahead goal with 5:22 remaining in the third, hitting a shot off the post and scoring on the rebound to give Northeastern a 3-2 advantage and its first lead of the afternoon.
• Northeastern would control possession for the remainder of the contest, holding off multiple Bobcat attacks to secure its first win of the season.
