Big weekend coming up.

So needless to say, this weekend is going to be exciting. The Huskies have home ice in the playoffs for the first time since 1998 and I can't even begin to imagine how loud Matthews will be tonight.

But this could be a good series as well. Massachusetts has given the Huskies trouble this year, posting a 2-1 record against NU. And as the esteemed Jack Grinold pointed out, Northeastern owns a 3-4 all time series record in home playoff series. So its not like home ice has been a sure thing for the Huskies.

Here's the game notes for NU and UMass.


The weekend got off to an early (and good) start for Husky sports. Women's basketball won it's opening tourney game against Georgia State. The sixth seeded Huskies take on third seeded James Madison tonight at 7:30. The Huskies rolled last night, but will face a much tougher test tonight against the Dukes. The Huskies have been inconsistent, but has shown they can compete with the best in the CAA.

Here's head coach Daynia La-Force Mann and senior co-captain Ashlee Feldman's post game press conference.

Baseball started its weekend at Seton Hall's Strike Out Cancer tournament with a 7-2 win over Iona. Junior Ryan Quigley was impressive today (7 IP, no earned runs, 10 K). Check out an interview I did with him following the NU-Sox game here.
