It’s December 5, 2019. Here’s what’s been going on lately in Southern New Hampshire University sports.

Southern New Hampshire, which never trailed in the contest, held a 40-30 advantage coming out of the locker room when an 18-4 burst – led by seven points from Ziliak – opened the largest lead of the night for the Penmen at 58-34 with 1:10 remaining in the third quarter.
Southern New Hampshire (6-3, 1-2 Northeast-10) has now won two straight and will be back in action Saturday, Dec. 7 (1:30 p.m.) when they play host to the New York Institute of Technology in non-conference action at the Stan Spirou Field House.

Senior Eammon Joyce (Medford, Mass.) had 21 points for SNHU, with junior Michael Almonacy (Brentwood, N.Y.) pitching in 17 points and freshman Jacari Sanders (San Antonio, Texas) adding 11 points.
SNHU held a five-point margin with a little over nine minutes to play in regulation when it ripped off a 21-7 run – with eight points from Montague and six from Almonacy – to grab its largest lead of the game at 80-61 with just under two minutes to go. Three of Montague’s points came when he flushed an alley-oop from Long over two Saint Michael’s defenders and completed the three-point play at the line.
SNHU improves to 37-14 all-time versus Saint Michael’s and has won eight of the last 10 meetings.
The Penmen (6-2, 2-2, Northeast-10) are back in action Saturday, Dec. 7 (3:30 p.m.) when they play host to Queens (N.Y.) College at the Stan Spirou Field House.
