DURHAM, NH- The traditional first look the public gets at the UNH gymnastics team was held December 4th as the team broke up into two sides to show their stuff and tune up before the season opener at Rutgers January 7th.

WEST HARTFORD, CT- The Hartford Hawks kicked off conference play Saturday afternoon as the Wildcats from New Hampshire rolled into Reich Pavilion also looking for a good start to the America East slate. The result was a pitched volleyball battle for 5 sets with Coach Jill Hirschinger’sUNH squad edging Don Ferguson’s U of H team by a razor thin margin.
Set 1 opened with the visitors grabbing a 9-2 lead including kills from Jessy Dick and Lauren Laquerre, and blocks from Destiny Tolliver and Laquerre as well. Kami Nethersole had the two sole kills for Hartford during the run.
After a time out, Sareeta Nethersole broke the New Hampshire scoring run, but the Wildcats would cling to their lead throughout. The Hawks would pull within 4 at the 12-16 mark, but spent most of the set down by even more than that as the two teams fought to a 21-24 score. Offense for UNH continued to include Laquerre who had multiple kills including hard smashes and well positioned taps. Dick added a tap over, and Amy Keding and Morgan Thatcher both got in on the scoring as well with kills. Even libero Sam Henke served up an Ace for a point. As Hartford worked to keep pace, Michelle Cordell had a kill and a block, and later unleashed a missile into the UNH zone, Kami Nethersole added a few kills, and Jackie Tamburri snookered the defense with a fake set which she turned into an attack. Dionna Kirton had a big smash though she was just warming up and Cordell precision placed a shot just in bounds. It would be Cordell later receiving a set from Tamburri and whacking it home, and a kill from Kirton that cut the UNH lead to 3, but Laquerre ended the set with a kill the volley later.
