Notes: The penalty corner unit was as consistent as always, converting two goals on only four chances. Hilary McHugh had both Northeastern tallies, her 16th and 17th on the year, and stretched her game-winning goal streak to five games. Kathleen Madaus, America East's Rookie of the Year and First Team goalkeeper, was just over two minutes away from her ninth shutout of the season before Delaware's Jodi Byrd slipped one by her to make the final game moments interesting. Northeastern has now beaten Delaware twice in six days to reaffirm its title as the best team in America East field hockey.
