Raphael Bartell earned his second straight start and saved five shots. The Huskies struggled to find the target until the second half.

The Dragons earned a free kick in the 38^th minute of the game just outside the penalty box. Short was able to navigate the wall of Northeastern Players and tuck a shot into the upper left corner of the goal. The goal is Short's first of the season.

In the final 15 minutes of play, Northeastern was trying its hardest to tally a goal but Drexel's defense stopped every attack.
