After ending Day 1 in a tie for first place, the Penmen finished third out of nine schools in the Penmen Fall Invitational on Tuesday.

Freshman Gabby Thomas shot five-over-par to end with a two-day tally of 156 to lead Southern New Hampshire.

The Penmen wrap up the fall season Oct. 13-14 when they compete in the Northeast-10 Championship at the Shenendoah Golf Course at Turning Stone in Verona, N.Y.

Women’s Volleyball

Stonehill put up an anemic .090 hitting percentage on Tuesday as the Penmen easily won in straight sets.

Freshman Juliana Pacini (São Paulo, Brazil) piled up eight kills and five service aces along with five digs. Senior Baylee Lippincott (Phoenix, Ariz) also had eight kills on the day.

This marks the first time since 2015 Southern New Hampshire has been at or above .500 through the first 12 matches of the season.

Southern New Hampshire (6-6, 1-1 NE10) are back in action Friday, Oct. 4 (7 p.m.) when they play host to Molloy College in non-conference action at the Stan Spirou Field House.

Women’s Tennis

Southern New Hampshire continued their winning streak, dropping just one doubles match and two singles matches in their contest against Assumption on Tuesday.

Although freshman Magadelna Hubickova (Prague, Czech Republic) suffered her first singles loss of the year, she got help from sophomore Alexxa Etienne (Bayamon, Puerto Rico) and freshman Isabella Andrade (Cochabamba, Bolivia), both of which won their singles and doubles matches.

Andrade has not lost a singles match yet so far this year.

Southern New Hampshire (6-1, 5-1 NE10), next faces Stonehill College on Saturday, Oct. 5 (12 p.m.)
