STONY BROOK, N.Y. – In a Friday afternoon matinee, Northeastern (1-4-5, 0-3-1 CAA) and Stony Brook (1-4-3, 0-2-2 CAA) played to a 0-0 draw in their CAA contest at LaValle Stadium.
- The Northeastern defense went to work early with three saves by goalkeeper Colby Hegarty in the first half, and a stellar save off the line from center back Ethan Leary, saving a goal in the 32nd minute.
- Northeastern was out-shot 6-1 in the opening half but picked up the offensive pressure in the second with seven shots, three of which forced saves.
- Coming right out of the half, junior Fraser Brown took a long range shot that looked to curl toward the crossbar but just missed by a few inches, resulting in a goal kick.
- The Huskies continued to pressure the Seawolves midway through the second half, with their best chance coming in the 70th minute on a through ball to Ethan Franco to the goalkeeper's right side. Franco looked to tip the ball back past to keeper to his left, but the shot was bobbled and saved at the last second.
- NU goalkeeper Colby Hegarty finished the afternoon with a season-high six saves for his second straight clean sheet. His record on the year stands at 1-2-3.
- The draw gives Northeastern its first conference point of the year.
