On the game's next corner, Catriona Semple netted a score, assisted by Bemis and Broderick. The Huskies took a 3-0 halftime lead when Fior D'Alize Arrindell took a feed from Williams and netted the score. Northeastern's final goal came at the beginning of the second half as Williams again teamed with Broderick and Bemis to record the game's final score.
The Eagles were stood up with a tough defensive effort by the Huskies and made only a handful of trips into the circle in the game.
Madaus made 4 saves in the win, while Dedman stopped 7 shots in defeat.
