DEDHAM, Mass. - The No. 20 University of Massachusetts field hockey team was bested by the Northeastern Huskies on Sunday afternoon by a score of 3-2. The Minutewomen finish the regular season with a 13-5 record, while the Huskies finish at 5-13.
The Huskies opened up scoring 5:17 into the match when Emilia Adragna launched her seventh of the season past the Minutewomen off an assist by Lara Taylor. Adragna scored her second of the day just eight minutes later, at 13:18 in the first quarter, getting her shot by freshman goalkeeper Myrte van Herwijnen (2 saves).

After a shot-heavy third quarter for Massachusetts, sophomore Dempsey Campbell answered the call for the Minutewomen with 0:45 remaining in the quarter, equalizing the score at 2. The goal came off a rebound from Kennedy at 14:15. However, Emmy Stubbs ultimately put the Huskies back on top, scoring the game-winner at 2:57 into the fourth quarter of play. Her eleventh of the season was assisted by Kate Blaisdell.
