Each week during the academic year, the NE10 honors
Athletes of the Week for all of its 24 sponsored sports while they are in season. Faces in the Crowd shines a spotlight on outstanding on-field performances that didn't earn Athlete of the Week recognition, while also highlighting academic or community efforts from student-athletes across the league.
Below are this week's
NE10 Faces in the Crowd.
ANDRES FULGENCIO
School: Adelphi
Sport: Basketball
Fulgencio scored 26 points on 9-12 shooting (5-7 from three) at AIC last week in his biggest statistical performance. He followed that up, however, by hitting a huge and-one against St. Anselm, helping end a Hawks comeback and securing a 2-0 week on the road.
CASH McCLURE
School: Bentley
Sport: Basketball
McClure hit a buzzer beater against Assumption on Saturday, capping off a 2-0 week against a pair of teams above the Falcons in the standings. He hit a triple with two minutes left against Pace on Wednesday, spreading the BEntley lead after Pace had cut it to a one-possession game.
COLETTE MULDERIG
School: Franklin Pierce
Sport: Basketball
Mulderig scored 28 points and added 13 rebounds in her double-double against SNHU. The 28-point performance marked the fifth-most points scored in an NE10 women's basketball game this season.
HUNTER BRACKETT
School: Saint Anselm
Sport: Ice Hockey
The NE10's leading scorer has been on a tear all season, but even more of late. Brackett has scored a point in seven straight games, racking up six goals and nine assists over that span.
JOE SANTORO
School: Post
Sport: Ice Hockey
Santoro scored the game-winning-goal in overtime over the weekend, taking down defending NE10 champion Assumption on the road. Santoro scored both Post goals for his second multi-goal performance of the year.
STAN DeMARTINIS
School: Bentley
Sport: Baseball
DeMartinis missed last season to injury and wasted no time jumping back in. The senior Floridian made a huge impact in Bentley's trip to Florida, belting two homeruns and driving in five against Barry - Bentley's first game of the year. He doubled and drove in two the next day against Lynn.
STEPHANIE DAVIS
School: SNHU
Sport: Basketball
Davis scored five points and added five assists in the SNHU upset of SCSU. Her biggest impact came when she hit her team's only three of the game with 6:43 to play, pulling the Penmen within two. The shot was the last field goal SNHU made in the game, going on to win by executing at the free throw line.
TAYESHAWN CUNNINGHAM-PEMBERTON
School: Assumption
Sport: Basketball
Cunningham-Pemberton was averaging 7.5ppg on the season ... until he exploded over Assumption's last four games. Tayeshawn is averaging 16.5ppg with 7.8 reb over the last four games, including a flurry of jaw-dropping dunks.
