night, added eight more against Southern Maine. The assist total is one shy of

an overall record of 13-3, including a 5-1 mark in the conference circuit.
Theriault led his charges to the second seed in the Little East Conference

a point shy of Keene State. Last spring, the Warriors sported an overall record
of 12-5, while boasting a 6-0 mark in the Little East Conference to earn the top
seed in the conference tournament. Under the direction of Head Coach Nicholas
Smith, Eastern Connecticut defeated the Owls 14-12 to record the programs' fifth
