Huskies blank Delaware at Parsons
Oct. 29, 2008
Parsons Field (Brookline, Mass.)

Team 1st 2nd Final

Delaware (2-12-3, 1-7-1) 0 0 0

Northeastern (6-4-6, 4-2-3) 0 1 1

Northeastern (6-4-6, 4-2-3 CAA) got a goal from freshman forward Mike Kennedy with nine minutes to go in regulation to top Delaware (2-12-3, 1-7-1 CAA) 1-0 on a cold afternoon at Parsons Field on Wednesday.

Mike Kennedy received a pass from Nick Lueders in the box and fired a shot that hit off the crossbar and went into the net. The goal was his fifth of the season, which puts him in a tie with Lewis Ehrlich for the team lead. Ehrlich missed his third straight game on Wednesday.

The Huskies now improve to 4-2-3 in conference play and improve their chances at making the CAA playoffs. The Blue Hens fall to a 1-7-1 record in conference play with the loss. Northeastern also stays undefeated at home with the win and now have a record of 5-0-2 at Parsons Field.

Northeastern came out sluggish in the first half, but kept the ball on Delaware's side of the field for a majority of the time. They had several opportunities stalled due to seven offsides penalties against the team in the first half. The Huskies outshot the Blue Hens 6-2 in the half, but both teams only managed one shot on goal each.

The second half proved to be more entertaining as both teams' offenses got going with 21 total shots. NU held the shot advantage in the game 19-10, while Scott Partridge made four saves on his way to his CAA-leading seventh shutout of the season. Delaware goalie Conrad Rusnak made three saves in the match.

Northeastern will honor its seniors Lewis Ehrlich and Jonathan Batista for Senior Day during its last home game of the season on Saturday at 6 p.m. The Huskies will take on William & Mary as both teams fight for rights to host a first-round CAA playoff game.
