The Tribe (5-8-2, 3-3-1) outshot NU, 9-6, in the final 45 minutes, but Northeastern iced it with a goal in the 87th minute. Off a short corner kick, Frankie de la Camara worked his way through the Tribe defense into the right side of the penalty area and ripped a shot near post to increase the Huskies lead to 2-0.
