A force in the throwing circle and one of the most dominant student-athletes in team history, Derek Anderson left an indelible mark on the track and field program during his collegiate career. Competing from 2001 to 2006, Anderson set a standard of excellence in the shot put and discus that still stands today.
 
A two-time NCAA All-American, six-time America East Champion and six-year captain, Anderson captured the conference indoor shot put titles in 2003 (17.06 meters) and 2004 (17.11 meters), and the outdoor shot put titles in 2003 (16.50 meters) and 2004 (18.90 meters).

He was named the 2006 USA Track and Field Northeast Athlete of the Year, was a three-time IC4A champion during his career, and also won the shot put champion at the 2006 Texas Relays. Anderson holds the school record in outdoor shot put with a mark of 19.88 meters, and the all-time record in outdoor discus at 60.12 meters. Indoors, he ranks second all-time in the shot put (19.06 meters), reflecting a career of consistent excellence across seasons and surfaces.

She also holds the second best career attack percentage at .309, showcasing her efficiency and strategic play. Her ability to contribute to every facet of the game is reflected in her position as fourth all-time in blocks (379), seventh in sets played (455), ninth in kills per set (2.82), and ninth in total attempts (3,080).
 
David Sherlock - Men's Ice Hockey (1972-76)
A forward for the men's ice hockey team from 1972 to 1976, David Sherlock is fifth all-time in scoring in program history. In 89 career games, he recorded 172 points on 72 goals and 100 assists. His 100 assists rank sixth, while his 72 goals are tied for eighth all-time in program history.
 
During the 1974-75 season, Sherlock and his fellow junior linemates, Jim Martel and Charles Huck, opened the season scoring 15 goals in the first two games. The line scored a total of 82 goals, becoming the highest scoring line in college hockey. This earned them the nickname, the "GAP Line" for a goal-a-period, of which Sherlock scored 23 goals. The Oakville, Ontario native was also the Huskies' single-season assist leader during the 1973-74 season as a sophomore with 28 assists in 27 games.

One of the most prolific scorers in program history, Petter Starnas wrapped up his Northeastern career with 39 goals and 92 points. He holds the program record for goals (16) and points (39) in a single season in 1999, along with the most points in a single game (eight points on three goals and two assists) which tied a program record set in 1988 and tied in 1994.
 
Starnas led the team in scoring during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, earning three All-Conference designations in that stretch. In 2001, he was named to the NSCAA All-Region Third Team, and his 39 career goals and 92 career points are the second-most in program history.
 
2002 Men's Soccer Team
The 2002 men's soccer team, led by head coach Ed Matz, posted a 12-8-4 overall record (6-2-0 in conference) and tallied the second-most wins in program history. The Huskies dominated the America East en route to the No. 1 overall seed. Led by America East Player of the Year Atha Kirkopoulos and Rookie of the Year goalkeeper Sergio Saccoccio, Northeastern took down New Hampshire 3-1 in the semifinals and 2-1 over the No. 2 seed Vermont, earning Northeastern's first America East title in men's soccer, and clinching the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. 
 
Kirkopoulos was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, joined on the All-Tournament team by Michael Cipriano, Nate Houghton, and Jochen Beck. The 2002 team went on a magical run with a 7-6 PK shootout victory over Lehigh on the road, and returned home to host Boston College. The Huskies took a second half lead at Parsons Field off the boot of Michael Cipriano in the 64th minute, but a pair of BC goals in the span of four minutes ended Northeastern's NCAA tournament run.
 
1999 Women's Basketball Team
The 1998–1999 women's basketball team carved out one of the most memorable seasons in program history, blending relentless defense, offensive firepower, and unwavering team chemistry to capture the America East Championship and secure a coveted spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever.
