THREE OWLS EARN NE10 YEAR-END HONORS Jake Paul, Nick Lamberti and Brandon Rentas were all honored by the NE10 at the conclusion of last year. Paul earned Second-Team All-Conference honors, while both Rentas and Lamberti earned a spot on the NE-10 All-Rookie Team. EXCELLING IN THE CLASSROOM Southern Connecticut had 11 student-athletes selected to the Northeast-10 Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for their work in the classroom during the fall, 2016 semester. UP NEXT Depending on Tuesday’s result, the Owls will either have a quick turnaround, or a short break before their next action. A win over the Setters will give the Owls the right to host the remaining portion of the NE10 Tournament, which would kick off at The Ballpark at SCSU on May 11 and run through May 13. A loss would give the Owls the weekend off, and they would wait for the NCAA Tournament selection announcement to learn of their opponent in that event.

THREE OWLS EARN NE10 YEAR-END HONORS Jake Paul, Nick Lamberti and Brandon Rentas were all honored by the NE10 at the conclusion of last year. Paul earned Second-Team All-Conference honors, while both Rentas and Lamberti earned a spot on the NE-10 All-Rookie Team. EXCELLING IN THE CLASSROOM Southern Connecticut had 11 student-athletes selected to the Northeast-10 Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for their work in the classroom during the fall, 2016 semester. UP NEXT Depending on Tuesday’s result, the Owls will either have a quick turnaround, or a short break before their next action. A win over the Setters will give the Owls the right to host the remaining portion of the NE10 Tournament, which would kick off at The Ballpark at SCSU on May 11 and run through May 13. A loss would give the Owls the weekend off, and they would wait for the NCAA Tournament selection announcement to learn of their opponent in that event.
