Northeastern will look to earn its first win on Tuesday night on the road against Harvard in women’s basketball non-conference play.
On Tuesday night, Northeastern will travel to Cambridge to take on Harvard in a women’s non-conference game. The Huskies are in search of their first win of the season as they enter Tuesday’s contest with a record of 0-3 so far. The team’s last time on the court resulted in a tough 58-31 loss to New Hampshire on Thursday.
Against the Wildcats, Northeastern struggled, shooting 25.6 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from beyond the arc. The team only went 7-for-16 at the line for a percentage of 43.8. Abby Jegede led the Huskies with 12 points, while Yirsy Quéliz finished right behind her with 11. As the only two players in double figures, it clearly was not enough to compete with the Wildcats. Northeastern also had trouble on the boards, only pulling down a total of 25 rebounds in comparison to New Hampshire’s 42. Taylor Holohan and Quéliz led in that category with four rebounds apiece. There are many areas that the Huskies need to improve upon and head coach Priscilla Edwards-Lloyd hopes to put those into place on Tuesday.
