Huskies Stifle Tribe

A new year and a fresh start for the Northeastern Huskies who returned to Matthews Arena for the first time in a month.

The Huskies, led by Matt Janning’s 22 points, overcame a quick 5-0 deficit and went on a 17-2 run and did not look back from there. Chaisson Allen came up big again for the Huskies with 12 points and 8 rebounds, while Manny Adako stayed hot with 13 points and 5 boards. Northeastern only turned the ball over 9 times, a huge improvement from the 25 turnovers at Memphis.

Now 2-0 in the CAA, the Huskies will take on Hofstra at home where they will hope to build upon their hot start in the conference. Their smothering defense and improvements on the backboards are becoming more consistent, but the Huskies must keep it up if they hope to finish atop the CAA.
