MANCHESTER, N.H. - Gabe Mercier's
(Middleboro, MA) goal with 12:48 remaining lifted Southern New
Hampshire University to a 1-0 Northeast-10 men's soccer victory
over crosstown rival Saint Anselm College at Larkin Field Wednesday
night. The Penmen remain unbeaten on the season at 1-0-3

for his first tally of the season. The goal was unassisted.
