BOSTON, Mass. - Northeastern overcame a 2-1 halftime defecit to defeat the University of Massachusetts, 4-2, in field hockey action this afternoon at Sweeny Field.
The Huskies struck first, when Sarah Broderick scored just 57 seconds into the game. The score remained 1-0 until 21:29 when UMass capitalized on a penalty corner. Senior Anke Bruemmer (Koeln, Germany) scored with assists coming from junior Erika Whiston (Athol, Mass.) and senior Lindsay Abbott (Northampton, Mass.). With the score, Bruemmer moved into fourth place in career goals at UMass. It was her second goal of the season and 42nd of her career.

The Huskies evened the score in the opening minute of the second half when Broderick scored another goal. Maureen Connolly put the Huskies ahead, 3-2, by poking in a rebound at 28:31. Broderick tallied her third goal of the game at 19:19, sealing the victory for Northeastern.
