Northeastern 73, Stony Brook 60
Box Score
Facing off for the second time in nine days, Northeastern got its payback, defeating Stony Brook 73-60. Previously falling to the Seawolves 64-55 on Feb. 6, the Huskies put together a complete performance for their third conference win of the season. Camryn Collins (21) and Justice Tramble (15) dominated the day, scoring 36 of Northeastern’s 73 points. The pair was most effecive when Priscilla Edwards-Lloyd needed them to establish an advantage that it never lost control of. With 2:37 remaining in the first half, Johanna Potter pushed the Seawolves ahead 25-24. Just eight seconds later, Collins raced down to the other end of the court, knocking down a jumper to retake the advantage. Tramble’s trey pushed the Huskies ahead by four as a part of the 11-1 run in the final two and a half minutes of the half. Stony Brook came within six points but was unable to overcome the deficit.
