UNH Football Makes a Major Comeback Against Stony Brook

On Saturday, Nov. 16, the University of New Hampshire football team took on Stony Brook, winning 31-30. Before the game started, UNH took a moment to recognize all seniors by playing their alma mater. They then recognized the football seniors with each of the players giving their families flowers. The first quarter started with the ball going back and forth between the teams yet remaining scoreless. Stony Brook was the first to score with back-to-back field goals. The first field goal was from 24-yards after Stony Brook’s Duncan-Niusulu intercepted the ball at the Wildcat 30-yard line and went down at the 25. The second field goal came from a sack on quarterback, Seth Morgan, that led to a fumble that Stony Brook recovered by A.J. Roberts, who went down on the UNH 8-yard line. The first quarter ended with Stony Brook leading 3-0. The second quarter started with Stony Brook in possession of the ball, where they scored their second field goal for 22 yards. The Wildcats quickly responded and took the lead with the first touchdown of the day with a pass to Logan Tomlinson and a field goal by Nick Mazzie. Stony Brook took the lead back with a touchdown of their own in only seven plays for 60 yards. The touchdown was made by Jayce Freeman from a 30-yard catch and was paired with a kick by Enda Kirby. “Those (Stony Brook) guys were physically impressive. They went after it, they were wearing on us,” commented head coach, Rick Santos. UNH ended the first half trailing by three, 13-10, with a 22-yard field goal from Mazzie after he missed one from 38-yards. Stony Brook started the third quarter with the ball and scored a touchdown with a 14-yard pass to Cal Redman and a good kick by Kirby to bring their lead up to 10. “The third quarter, we just really didn’t have the opportunity to push the ball down the field,” said Santos. The third quarter came up scoreless for UNH. Stony Brook continued their lead with a field goal from 37-yards by Kirby. Stony Brook led going into the fourth quarter, 23-10. “It’s the most important quarter,” said defensive lineman Ryan Toscano in the fourth quarter. Stony Brook made their lead to 20 points going into the fourth quarter with a touchdown with a 13-yard pass to Cole Bunicci. After this touchdown, UNH shifted the momentum in their favor offensively and defensively. “When we needed them (the defense) the most, they stepped up, they created turnovers, they got us the momentum right back and we capitalized on the offensive side of the ball,” said Santos. The Wildcats scored a touchdown just minutes after Stony Brook’s final scoring drive. The touchdown was made by a 24-yard rush into the endzone by Morgan and accompanied by a kick attempt by Mazzie. The defense got the ball back to UNH shortly after with a sack on Stony Brook’s quarterback, Tyler Knoop, that led to a fumble which was recovered by Jacoby Sherard. This fumble led to another UNH touchdown from Denzell Gibson with a 2-yard rush and a kick attempt by Mazzie. The Wildcat defense clocked a forced fumble on Stony Brook’s, Malachi Marshall, which was recovered by Zedane Williams. This led to UNH’s third touchdown in a row with a 15-yard pass to Joey Corcoran and another kick attempt by Mazzie, giving the Wildcats a one-point lead. The game ended with UNH in possession of the ball and three kneel-downs to run the clock to zero. Santos described the game the best, “it was an epic comeback.” The Wildcat’s football team ended their regular season bringing the Musket back to Durham in the border battle against Maine with a winning score 27-9.

UNH Women’s Basketball Defeats Boston University in an Upset!

On Saturday, Nov. 16, the University of New Hampshire women’s basketball team took on Boston University, winning 69-60. The Wildcats took the lead early with two three-pointers, one from Clara Gomez and the other from Sydney Lusher. Boston University didn’t get on the board for almost three minutes scoring a layup and quickly answered with a three-pointer from Eva DeChent, the first of her career-high 34 points of the night. “Eva is an extremely talented player that can score in a variety of ways,” commented head coach Megan Shoniker. Boston trailed the entire first period with only scoring layups. UNH was consistently getting their layups along with three-pointers from multiple players, including one from Maggie Cavanaugh off a steal from Gomez in the last two and a half minutes in the period. The first period ended with BU scoring a layup by Allison Schwertner, but still trailing by six points. The second period was rocky for both teams with multiple missed shots, turnovers, and even a foul on BU’s Sisi Bentley. DeChent was the first to score in the second period with another three-pointer, which was followed by a three-pointer from BU. This period was the lowest scoring out of the four, but UNH still held the lead. The half ended with an 11-3 run, consisting of two layups from Belen Morales Lopez, and a layup from DeChent and Gomez for UNH. BU’s Bella McLaughlin scored three in the middle of the run. The third period was a major setback for the Wildcats, with BU scoring seven points in the first two minutes. UNH saw many missed shots throughout the game and BU was able to swing the score in their favor. “We were not being disciplined on the defense end and were fouling way too much,” said Shoniker. They had multiple runs where UNH did not score or only scored a few points. In the third period, the Wildcats only put up seven points compared to BU’s 22 points, closing UNH’s lead to two points. The fourth period was when DeChent shined the most in the night, scoring 20 of her 34 points. Of those 20 points, 12 were free throws at the line due to BU fouls. “I just didn’t wanna lose, so I was trying to do anything I could not to lose,” said DeChent. BU had a quick run that tied the score with a three-pointer from Alex Giannaros and a layup and free throw from Schwertner. This brought the game neck and neck until the end. “I felt like their press took us out of rhythm and our kids were settling from the perimeter and not attacking the paint,” said Shoniker. Cavanaugh contributed a three-pointer, which led to her having a season-high 13 points. The game ended with DeChent scoring twice at the free-throw line. “Coming here, I feel like myself again,” said DeChent. The Wildcats will be back at Lundholm Gymnasiumon Tuesday, Nov. 26 to take on Holy Cross. This game can also be watched on ESPN+.

UNH Men’s Hockey Defeats Northeastern in the Third Hockey East Matchup of the Season

Friday, Nov. 15, UNH men’s hockey took on Northeastern in their third Hockey East Matchup of the season, winning 4-1. Northeastern scored within the first two minutes with a shot from Jake Higgins, shooting from the far side of the right faceoff circle and into the left side of the net. The Wildcats quickly tied the score from a breakaway with captain Alex Gagne. He gained this breakaway from the help of Ryan Conmy checking Vinny Borgesi, the left defense that was chasing Gagne. On the breakaway Gagne was able to come from the left and shoot the puck high to the top of the net. This is Gagne’s second goal in his career as he is a defensive player. “To help our team win, it felt good to actually score with my stick and not with my foot at home, so that was nice,” commented Gagne. Northeastern was rattled after the goal and had 5 shots on the net, which Jared Whale saved effortlessly. The second period started quiet until Northeastern gained a power play 5:32 into the period. Even though Northeastern was on the power play, UNH had some close shots, helping halt their momentum. UNH gained a power play of their own 10:24 into the period but didn’t get their second goal of the night until right after Northeastern’s Jake Boltmann left the penalty box. UNH’s Morgan Winters shot the puck from the center of the right faceoff circle off a pass from Gagne, and the puck flew into the net. For the first half of the third period, UNH predominantly stayed on defense to protect their lead. The Wildcats strengthened their lead with another goal and 5:22 left in the period. “I was proud, we didn’t shy away from our game plan. Like that’s one thing that I’m proud about our group is that no matter what happens, we want to stick to how we play because when we play like that, good things happen,” said Gagne. Colton Huard shot the puck deep and it was blocked by Northeastern goalie, Cameron Whitehead, as the puck bounced from the crease to Cy LeClerc, who flicked the puck into the net as Whitehead recovered. “He finds a way to contribute even maybe when he’s not at his best, and he scored a huge goal for us there,” said Head Coach Mike Sousa. Whitehead left the net with 1:46 left in the third period, giving UNH many opportunities to score on an open net. That opportunity came after Northeastern took a timeout. Robert Cronin won the faceoff and gave the puck to Winters, who shot the puck across the ice into the empty net with 14 seconds left. The Wildcats will be at the Whittemore Center at Key Auto Complex for a Matchup against UMaine on Nov. 22. This game along with many others can also be watched on ESPN+.
