When and Where: May 10, 2026 — Rindge, N.H. (Melissa Bisaccia Field) - Northeast 10 Championship Final
Result: #4 Assumption University 6, #3 seed Southern New Hampshire University 4
Records: SNHU 33-21, Assumption 30-25

Southern New Hampshire University softball was two outs away from forcing a winner-take-all game in the Northeast 10 Championship Final before Assumption University rallied for six runs in the seventh inning to earn a 6-4 victory on Sunday afternoon at Franklin Pierce University.  The loss leaves the Penmen awaiting word on Monday regarding a potential berth in the NCAA Division II National Championship.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

  • In a tightly played championship game, SNHU controlled the action through six innings, building a 4-0 lead behind timely hitting and strong pitching.
  • The Penmen broke through in the fourth inning when sophomore Alyssa Abbott (Hudson, N.H.) singled to center field to score freshman Brenna Howley (Abington, Mass.), who was running for junior Kaysie DeMoura (Taunton, Mass.).
  • SNHU added another run in the fifth as DeMoura delivered an RBI single to bring home senior Peyton Feldman (Foxboro, Mass.) and extend the lead to 2-0.
  • The Penmen appeared to seize control in the sixth inning. Junior Mikaya Alto (Chelmsford, Mass.) singled and later scored, and senior Sidney Rose (Davidson, N.C.) drove in two runs with a single that was misplayed in the outfield, pushing the advantage to 4-0.
  • Junior Julianna Colbert (Burrillville, R.I.) was dominant through six innings, limiting Assumption to just four hits while working around traffic on the bases.
  • Assumption mounted its comeback in the bottom of the seventh. A bases-loaded walk brought home the first run before Kaitlyn Cahill delivered a two-run single to cut the deficit to one.
  • Moments later, Maddy Bland ended the game with a three-run home run, completing the six-run rally and giving the Greyhounds the championship.
  • SNHU finished with nine hits in the contest, with Feldman, DeMoura, and Abbott each recording two hits.
