 Full Background

The Northeastern athletic teams did their finest performance in the 2002-03 season. Four teams joined the NCAA playoffs and won seven conference titles while NU competed in 14 sports offered by the America East Conference and won six championships. NU also won Atlantic 10 football title.

The men's basketball team has appeared in the NCAA Tournament seven times. During its time in the America East Conference, Northeastern was invited to the tournament more than any other school in the conference. The women's basketball team has earned four conference titles. The men's hockey team has made three NCAA championship appearances, and has won four Beanpot titles, one ECAC and one Hockey East title. NU competes in the top conference in the nation, the Hockey East Association.

The women's ice hockey team, a pioneer in the growing sport, won three ECAC titles, at the time the equivalent of the national title. The team has also won 14 Beanpots. The Huskies now compete in Hockey East. The football team has completed three undefeated seasons. NU set a school record with 10 wins, won a share of its first Atlantic 10 title and advanced to the NCAA playoffs for the first time in 2002. The field hockey team has qualified for 14 NCAA tournaments, including three final four appearances. The team won 10 America East championships and advanced to the title game in 14 of 15 years in the conference.

The men's team has won four national titles and the women are annually among the elite in the nation. The baseball team has competed in one College World Series and played in the NCAA regionals seven times, including the 2003 season after winning the America East title for the third time. NU won back-to-back America East regular season titles in 2004 and 2005. The men's team won the America East title for the first time in 2002 and earned its first NCAA berth. The women's team made the conference playoffs for the first time in 2002 and followed that up with appearances in 2003 and 2004.

In 2006, a Northeastern had four players selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, highlighted by RHP Adam Ottavino's first round selection (30th overall) by the St. Louis Cardinals. Also drafted were junior Dave Pellegrine (Los Angeles (A)/11th round) and seniors Matt Morizio (Kansas City/17th round) and Chris Emanuele (Toronto/26th round).

Head coach Greg Cronin of the men's hockey team has announced the signing of two more recruits for the 2006-07 season – forward Kyle Kraemer and goalie Brad Thiessen. Kraemer is a St. Louis, Mo. native and had 27 goals and 41 assists for the Wichita Falls Wildcats of the North American Hockey League last season. Thiessen is from Aldergrove, British Columbia and split the 2005-06 season between the Prince George Spruce Kings and Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League.
