It’s Nov. 16, 2019. Here’s what’s been going on lately in Saint Anselm College sports.
Basketball
The nationally-ranked men’s and women’s teams both took wins on Wednesday against Saint Michael’s in what was the first Northeast-10 game for each team.
In the women’s contest, the ninth-ranked Hawks won 78-62 to rise to 3-0 on the season.
Senior Shannon Ryan (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) had career-highs in points (31) and rebounds (21), finishing the game with over 1,200 career points and 750 career rebounds. Ryan now stands in 12th place all-time in program history in points, passing Liz Pelletier ’87 and eighth all-time in rebounds, passing Kaila Duarte ’17.
Junior Peyton Steinman (Pittsfield, Mass) had 16 points to put her above 700 during her Saint Anselm career.
On the men’s side, the 31 points of freshman Tyler Arbuckle (Bristol, Conn.) helped the 12th-ranked Hawks to a 93-72 victory, also placing them at 3-0.
Despite holding a lead of just one point shortly before the half, the Hawks’ offense accelerated in the second half, with four players other than Arbuckle reaching double digits in scoring.

Saint Anselm had a mixed-gender day on the ice on Friday, but unlike the hardwood doubleheader, here the Hawks had mixed results.
