Women's Basketball Drops Road Decision at Saint Anselm

Hughes posts team-high 11 points for the Penmen

When and Where: February 10, 2026 – Manchester, N.H. (Stoutenburgh Gymnasium)
Score: Saint Anselm College 77, Southern New Hampshire University 55
Record: SNHU 11-10 (6-8 NE10), STA 11-8 (6-8 NE10)

Junior Madison Hughes (Columbia, Conn.) scored a team-high 11 points, but the Southern New Hampshire University women's basketball team was unable to slow Saint Anselm College, as the Hawks pulled away early and cruised to a 77-55 Northeast 10 Conference victory Tuesday evening at Stoutenburgh Gymnasium.

KEY MOMENTS
  • Saint Anselm jumped out quickly, hitting four triples in the opening quarter to build a 23-12 advantage after one. The Hawks continued to stretch the margin in the second, using a 16-2 run midway through the period to open up a 37-17 lead, before taking a 43-25 cushion into the locker room.
  • SNHU found some rhythm out of halftime, with Ava Winterburn (New Boston, N.H.) scoring four of her nine points in the third quarter, but Saint Anselm answered each push and carried a 58-35 lead into the final frame.
  • The Penmen closed the night with a 20-point fourth quarter, highlighted by back-to-back threes from sophomore Taylor Brennan (Southbury, Conn.) and senior Meghan Gordon (Attleboro, Mass.), but the deficit proved too much to overcome.
NOTES
  • Hughes finished with 11 points on 3-for-6 shooting and added five rebounds.
  • Winterburn totaled nine points and six rebounds, while Brennan chipped in seven points and four assists.
  • Graduate student Sydnie DeVries (Monson, Mass.) contributed four points, five rebounds and four assists.
  • Saint Anselm shot 50.0 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from three-point range for the game.
  • SNHU forced 13 turnovers and held a 19-10 edge in bench points.
  • The Penmen and Hawks split the season series with each earning a point in the Queen City Cup.  Both teams sit at 6-8 in the Northeast 10, and are in a four-way tie for fifth place with Saint Michael's College and Adelphi University.   The top seven teams will qualify for the post-season Northeast 10 Championship that starts on Sunday, March 1.
  • Saint Anselm has a 55-26 lead in the all-time series, and the Hawks have won three of the last four.
WHAT'S NEXT
  • SNHU returns home Saturday, Feb. 14 (1:30 p.m.) when it plays host to Adelphi University on Senior Day at the Stan Spirou Field House.
