Notes: Hilary McHugh scored on two penalty corners and freshman goalkeeper Kathleen Madaus notched another masterpiece as the 12th-ranked Huskies beat the 15th-ranked Terriers in the annual crosstown classic. Despite a pressured BU attack that had 17 penalty corner chances, Madaus stopped every shot to earn one of the toughest shutouts of her rookie year. The Huskies have now won six straight contests, and have allowed only two goals in that span. Northeastern faces Harvard and Towson this week before a key head-to-head match-up with Delaware next Sunday for the top seed in America East.
