At USM the Athletics Department takes great pride in the players and teams that represent the institution on and off the field. There are instances though when student-athletes struggle to pay for their education, and are forced to leave school and their teams in search of ways to become financially stable.

FP: Why did you choose to come to USM? Was it the academics or the cross-country and track and field programs?

EG: I chose USM for a mix of both. Academically, USM was well-known for its Nursing and Health Science Programs which were the majors I was deciding between.

The USM baseball team was back in action this weekend as they took on St. Joseph’s University-Long Island, beating them 8-3 in both games of a doubleheader in their home opener at the USM Baseball Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Huskies were scheduled to travel to New York this weekend to play in the SUNY-Farmingdale Tournament after playing Old Westbury and Albertus Magnus in Long Island last weekend, but due to bad weather conditions the tournament was cancelled, and SJU-LI traveled to Gorham for what is considered to be one of the earliest home openers since the USM Baseball Stadium was built.

The Madness is Here

From the time the Division I men’s basketball season begins in late October to the end of the regular season in early March, it’s all part of brewing the madness. March Madness that is.

March is upon us again and with that comes the NCAA March Madness Men’s College Basketball Tournament, one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year.

The University of New England poured in 13 tallies as the Nor’easters defeated USM in the Huskies home opener 13-10 at Memorial Field on the grounds of Deering High School on Friday night.

In What panned out to be a back and forth contest, UNE took advantage of scoring opportunities and used a five-goal effort from stand-out freshman Tyler Thomas to hand USM their second straight loss.

From Staff Reports

USM Assistant Director for Athletics Meredith Bickford was recently presented with the Emerging Athletic Administrator Award at the NCAA National Convention. Bickford, a former USM Student-Athlete, serves as an assistant athletic director at USM for Student-Development and is the department’s senior woman administrator.

Six years ago when the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years, the team didn’t have any flashy, over-paid players who cared only about themselves. They had a group of hard-nosed guys who would crash through a wall to make a catch, or lay down a sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the ninth; as long as it was going to help their team a win.

FP: What is your major?

AD: I am an Athletic Training major.

FP: What has your experience been like in your three years here at USM?

AD: I’d describe my experience here at USM as rewarding. The Athletic Training major is a difficult one, especially because of the 150 clinical hours we are required to do each semester.
