Northeastern Out of Hibernation
Colleges - Men's DI College


On Saturday, Northeastern took on Yale in their first game of the spring season. Northeastern won handily 58-12, running in 10 tries, four of which were converted.

Scorers for Northeastern included captain and center Sebastien Voigt, prop Kenny McAdow, fullback Ty Taylor and wing Aaron Reich poured in two tries each for the Maddogs, Lock Brian Henske and Flyhalf Alex Goodall added one a piece.

Northeastern struck first in the opening five minutes and did not relent the entire first half, scoring 39 points to Yale's seven. The second half saw less scoring, but was still controlled by Northeastern.

"Overall, the game went well. We saw what we needed to work on and we just need to start playing at the kind of level that will get us through to the final four," said Voigt. "We aren't there yet, but we have four weeks to reach that goal."

Having shaken off the initial rust of a long offseason, Northeastern now goes to practice with game-time experience under their belts. Northeastern travels to South Shore men's club this weekend to play in a round-robin tournament along with UMass-Amherst.
