It’s Sunday, November 24, 2019. Here’s what’s been going on lately in Southern New Hampshire University.
Cross Country
Sophomore Ashley Corcoran (East Longmeadow, Mass.) finished 26th place on Saturday at the NCAA Division II National Championship in Sacramento, Calif.
Corcoran finished the 6k course in 20:51.7, the fastest time in program history. She is also the first All-American in SNHU history.
The SNHU women’s cross country team ran in the race for the first time, finishing 32nd on Saturday.
Junior Micah Hewitson (New Market, Md.) finished 154th overall.
Hewitson’s time for the 10k was 32:03.3, just two seconds off his season-mark which was set at the East Regionals on November 9 (32:01). The 32:03.3 clocking was the seventh fastest in program history, just behind Tyler McLaren’s run at the 2017 NCAA Division II Championship.
Men’s Basketball
The Penmen’s undefeated run needed another two points that didn’t come on Saturday as SNHU fell 87-86 to Assumption despite a six-point lead heading into the contest’s final minute.
Junior Michael Alonacy (Brentwood, N.Y.) finished with 20 points. Freshman Jacari Sanders (San Antonio, Texas) had a career-high 19 points. Senior Eamonn Joyce (Medford, Mass.) was close behind with 10 points and barely missed out on a double-double with nine rebounds.
The Penmen (4-1, 1-0 Northeast-10) are back in action Tuesday, Nov. 26 (7:30 p.m.) when they play host to crosstown-rival Saint Anselm College at the Stan Spirou Field House. The game will air on WGIR 610-AM
