Northeastern claims CAA regular season crown
BROOKLINE, Mass. – Sophomore Hannah Rosenblatt scored two goals to help the Northeastern women's soccer team (12-6-1, 7-2-0 CAA) clinch the CAA regular season title with a 2-1 victory over James Madison (8-10-0, 5-4-0 CAA) on senior day Sunday at Parsons Field.
