Northeastern grabbed an insurance goal just 2:40 later after Blake's ball through the middle found Veronica Napoli, who beat freshman goalkeeper Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) to make it 3-1.

Correa made seven saves, while Sopko stopped three shots.

The Huskies jumped on the board in the 13^th minute when Georgina Kemp's diving header off a Kirby Anderson corner ended up in the net for the 1-0 lead.

Northeastern held advantages of 24-11 in shots and 9-1 in corners.
