WENHAM, Mass. – Junior Patrick Voli (Bloomingdale, N.J.) and freshman Dillon Coblentz (Chouteau, Okla.) set the pace for Salve Regina as the Seahawks raced in the Battle of the North Shore at Gordon College on Thursday.

The meet marked the first time since 2019 that the Salve Regina harriers had enough athletes to score as a team. Junior Shane Behn (Makawao, Hawaii), sophomore Ty Gallagher (Goffstown, N.H.) and senior Jake Simpson (Hingham, Mass.) completed the scoring for the Seahawks.

Endicott freshmen Matt Morneau and Connor Coffin raced to a 1-2 finish in the 5,000-meter race, crossing the finish line at 16:22.4 and 16:28.3 to set the stage for a victory by the Gulls. In open scoring, Endicott (20) was first, with Gordon (35) second and Salve Regina (85) third. If the meet were scored as dual meets, Endicott defeated Gordon, 20-35; Endicott topped Salve Regina, 15-50; and Gordon beat Salve Regina, 15-50.
