MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Saint Anselm softball team secured another conference win after a close 3-2 victory over Southern Connecticut State (SCSU) on Tuesday.

  • Saint Anselm quickly answered in the bottom half. Senior Audrey Arsenault (Stow, Mass.) led off with a triple and scored one batter later when Wiberg launched her second home run in as many days, giving the Hawks a 2-1 advantage.
  • The Hawks tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth with Wiberg crossing the plate again, this time on an RBI single by sophomore Caitlyn Duquette (Bedford, N.H.).
  • The Owls made things interesting in the top of the seventh as Cassidy Sullivan touched home on a wild pitch, but the visitors stranded the tying run and the Hawks hung on for a 3-2 victory.
