NEWARK, DEL. – Three members of the SNHU baseball team were selected as Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) East All-Region, follow a vote of the region's sports information directors, with results announced on Wednesday.  Sophomore Trevor Anibal (Bedford, N.H.) was named a first-team selection, and redshirt sophomore Nick Schwartz (Massapequa, N.Y.) and graduate student Josh Roberge (Chelmsford, Mass.) were named to the second-team.
 

Anibal, who was also named to the Northeast-10 first-team as a relief pitcher, has worked in 13 games this season.  He's 6-0 with a 1.53 ERA and three saves.  Anibal has help opposing hitters to a .154 average, and stuck out 47 batters in his 36 innings.  His four-inning relief effort against Adelphi in the Northeast-10 tournament helped SNHU rally for a 5-4 win.
