Students from Boston area public schools visited Northeastern on Wednesday afternoon to cheer on the women’s basketball team, as the Huskies took on the Boston University Terriers at the Cabot Center.

Northeastern hosted the students for the annual Field Day after a year’s hiatus. Many students sported black “Northeastern Athletics” T-shirts for the occasion and snacked on bagged lunches as they cheered on the home team from seats behind the baskets and along the sidelines. The Office of City and Community Affairs and Northeastern Athletics organized the event.

The Huskies defeated the Terriers, 53-45.
