One of the most unique skills in soccer is long throw-ins.
Creating a scoring chance by throwing the ball from the sideline to the box isn't easy. But it comes naturally for some players and gives them a crucial role.

I'm ✨officially✨ a graduate of
@Northeastern

Going to miss all the fun I've had over the last 4.5 years with

B4 | First pitch swinging and Jordan Thompson (
@LSUbaseball

Red Sox now lead, 2-1
B9 | WALK US OFF, MIKE! Boeve (
@OmahaBSB

Hunter Haas (

Source? These two back-to-back plays. And the hundreds of others he's made just like it this summer.

Homer Bush Jr. (

Two keys to that: First, working with

Endless love for this place and these people ❤️
FINAL: English High 7, Georgetown 1
For the first time in program history, the Eagles are state champs!
David Castillo pitched 6 great innings and Rusbert Martinez had the big 2-run 2B in the 3rd.
First MIAA title for a City team, and first overall since 1971.

NEW: Scott Pickler now stands alone on the

My latest, on a man whose impact extends beyond the Cape ⬇️
"And then Gaudette hit the empty net for his hat trick, and that's how we won our first Beanpot of this streak. We're going for four straight on Monday."
"Wait a second, you can WIN Beanpots???"
I think I’ve become desensitized to it because I watch him play every week but the kid’s name is Gunnarwolfe Fontaine and that is just the greatest name of all time
With the Devon Levi news, here's where his first NU season stands in program history:
1.54 GAA (1st)
.952 sv % (1st) (also T-2nd in NCAA history)
10 shutouts (1st)
21 wins (T-3rd)
He is also one shutout away from the NU career record. Excited to see what year two brings.
From Aidan McDonough ⬇️
I love seeing NU players prioritize graduation. Harris last year, now McDonough. These are guys who have long professional careers ahead of them but still realize the importance of getting their degree along with another year of development in college.
“Another year to improve my skating and get physically ready for a professional season. We will also have a very good team next year and compete for championships. My education is also important so being able to graduate is a big deal for myself and my family.”

@wrbbsports
team has been relentlessly in pursuit of the answer to one question: what is the ACTUAL all-time series record between these two rivals? (1/23)
This one hurts, a lot.
I had never watched women's hockey before I came to NU. Because of this team, and this graduating class, it's now one of my favorite sports. Thank you to all 12 of the seniors leaving. This team has made a bigger impact on me than you'll ever know.

Hey
@NCAAIceHockey
, scheduling National Tournament games for weekdays at 2 PM is not only incredibly disrespectful to the student athletes and student outlets who have an education to work toward, but it also does absolutely nothing to promote the sport of women's hockey.
By my count, what Chloe Aurard did today for
@GoNUwhockey
- PPG, SHG, and EV goal in succession - has happened 13 times in NHL history. It's two different leagues, but it's really cool to see her pull off such an undoubtedly rare feat.
Happy senior night to

This iconic group is on one more quest for hardware this year, but tonight is their final regular season game. So to celebrate, I've threaded my favorite play from each of them over the years below 🧵⬇️

A great read on Megan Carter!
We also want to take a moment to thank Mike as he graduates for all the incredible coverage he has given to our program. You’ll always have a home in the Jack Grinold Press Box!

Being a campus newspaper during this crisis is really, really tough. Our staff has been trying to balance providing news to the community with figuring out our own class/work situations and frantically packing with three days to get all of our belongings out of our housing.
Per his Instagram, former Northeastern guard Tyreek Scott-Grayson is transferring to Old Dominion. Played just six games due to injury this season, but averaged 12.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. An electric guard with the ball in his hands.
Wishing TSG all the best at ODU!
RECAP: After three tough-luck losses, Eric Yost is in the win column.
Yost (

@BYUBaseball
's Bryce Robison, who threw six shutout frames, as they defeated Orleans, 4-0. It was Y-D's seventh win in their last eight games, confirming earlier reports that the Sox are, in fact, hot.
Big congrats to Skylar Fontaine on her 100th point. Not sure I’ve seen another player in the country that can combine her elite speed with insane vision and pinpoint shooting. One of the best Ds in the whole NCAA over the past few years.
Congratulations to
@Skylar_Fontaine
on reaching the 💯 career points milestone with the
#HowlinHuskies
. Today she recorded her 💯th career point and earns her spot as only the 𝟛rd defenseman in Northeastern history to achieve this.
Northeastern's Megan Carter is making her senior debut for Team Canada tonight.
I spoke with the
@GoNUwhockey
standout before the season for
@wrbbsports
and trust me, this is a "first of many" situation.
You can read about her development/her game here:
53 saves for Aerin Frankel eclipses her highest mark not only in the PWHL but also through her entire Northeastern career as well!
Her NU high was 51 on 1/9/20 against Wisconsin - that was an overtime loss - but this time, she's deservedly on the right side of the result.
