The Northeastern University Huskies have been selected as the next CollegeLAX Team of the Week following a three-win tour in the state of Georgia. The Huskies, now 3-1, topped out-of-conference SELC opponents Georgia, Georgia Tech and Central Florida during their stay in the South.

The games were the Huskies’ first under recently promoted head coach Joe Brady, who replaced former PCLL Coach of the Year Tim Gray as the man in charge of the NU sideline last week. The two flipped roles for the games, with Gray assisting Brady over the three game span.

“Having Tim there has been a great help,” said Brady. “This week was sort of his last ‘hurrah.’” Coach Gray will be leaving the Huskies in April for a job opportunity in Orange County, California.

Brady said the weekend’s results came in spite of early adversity on the trip. “We lost two starters to injuries in the first 24 hours,” he said. The team’s ability to rebound with solid play off their bench proved pivotal in their success, Brady said. “Our bench players stepping up was a big positive for us.”

The Huskies’ games against Georgia and Georgia Tech both proved to be one goals affairs, with the visitors from Boston escaping each with narrow 7-6 victories. Brady said his team improved in each game and gave credit to his squad’s stingy defense, which held all three opponents in single digits scoring on the trip.

Coach Gray said with the team’s adaptation to their midseason coaching switch. ”Our guys have been coming together really well,” said Gray.

Gray said that even though he’ll be moving to the opposite side of the country he doesn’t expect to lose touch with the Huskies as their season progresses.

“I’ve been involved with the program since I started playing for the team in ‘97, so there’s no way I could drop it cold turkey,” said Gray. “I’ll definetly be keeping up with the guys and coach Brady,” said Gray.

The Huskies’ next opponent will be PCLL Division 2 Worcester Polytechnic Institute on March 27.

The Northeastern Lacrosse community wishes Coach Gray all the luck in his future endeavors and appreciates all the work that he has put in to get our program to where we are today.

From CollegeLax:

Northeastern coach Tim Gray has announced he will be leaving the Huskies this spring and that assistant coach Joe Brady will replace him as head coach.

“Leaving NU was a very difficult decision, but the job opportunity in California was too much to pass up,” said Gray.

Coach Gray had an overall record of 65-32 with the Huskies, who he lead to the National Tournament for three years in a row from 2005-2007. A former Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League (PCLL) Coach of the Year, Gray’s players over the years have included 43 all-league PCLL selections and 14 MCLA All Americans.

The Huskies also won a pair of PCLL titles (2005 and 2006) under Gray.

“I’ve been involved with the Northeastern program since 1997 as a player or a coach. I’ve worked very hard with my players through the years to make it into the competitive team that it is today. But knowing that Joe Brady was on board and willing to take over the head coaching duties made it a little bit easier,” said Gray.

“Joe has earned the respect of every player on the team and they have all been working hard for him. I’m extremely confident that NU lacrosse is being left in the right hands to continue to steer it in the right direction this year and hopefully future years,” added Gray.

Though conceding the move to California will be a tough one after spending so much time in the PCLL, Gray said he hasn’t ruled out a return to coaching on the opposite coast.

“For now, I will concentrate in my duties as MCLA secretary. Maybe I will get back into coaching next year,” concluded Gray.

The Northeastern University Men’s Lacrosse team has again racked up post-season honors from both the Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League as well as the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association.
Seven members of the team earned the honors from the PCLL, these awards are handed out among players throughout Division A of the PCLL. Also three players were recognized by the MCLA for All- America honors. The MCLA gives awards to players from across the country.
