MANCHESTER, N.H. – Senior Kyle Maurice (Exeter, N.H.) of the Saint Anselm College baseball team was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-East Region First Team on Thursday.

The accolades keep rolling in for Maurice who was named the Northeast-10 Conference Northeast Division Player of the Year and to the conference's All-Conference First Team before receiving D2CCA All-East Region First Team honors on Wednesday.

Maurice slashed .396/.730/.461 as senior. His .396 batting average led the Hawks and was third in the conference while his .730 slugging percentage was third in the NE10 and second highest in team annals. Maurice slugged 14 home runs in 2022 which leads the conference and is second most in a single season in program history. Maurice posted 63 hits, scored 45 runs, and drove in 48, all of which are top-10 in the NE10 currently.

Maurice registered a 16-game hitting streak this season, going 31-for-62 (.500) on the streak which started in game one of a doubleheader against Assumption on Mar. 27 and ended against Saint Michael's on Apr. 23 in game two of that doubleheader. Maurice slugged three home runs in game two of the Hawks doubleheader against American International on May 6, on his way to driving in eight runs in that contest. Maurice recorded a hit in 35 of 42 games played in 2022 and recorded multiple hits in 19 of those games.

Defensively, the senior committed just one error in 125 total chances which is good for a .992 fielding percentage. That percentage currently ranks 19th in the conference.

In two seasons of play for Saint Anselm, Maurice batted .355, recorded a slugging percentage of .701, and had an on-base percentage of.458. Maurice registered 89 hits in 251 at-bats while scoring 73 runs. He posted 15 doubles, 24 home runs, and 81 runs batted in. Maurice's 24 homers are second most in a career on the Hilltop. He posted a .990 fielding percentage with just three errors in 315 chances between the outfield and first base.

The senior helped the Hawks to their second consecutive NE10 postseason appearance, the first time the program has done that since the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Saint Anselm registered 22 wins in 2022 which is sixth most in a single season and the most since the 2012 season.

MANSFIELD, Mass. – Senior Kyle Maurice (Exeter, N.H.) of the Saint Anselm College baseball team was named the Northeast-10 Conference Northeast Division Player of the Year, announced by the league on Wednesday.

This fall, Saint Anselm students participated in training exercises with the Manchester Police Department. The opportunity helped the undergraduate and graduate students experience exercises while building relationships with local law enforcement officers.  

The crews spent a recent morning honing their skills as they responded to a mock active shooter situation around campus. Criminal Justice (CJ) majors, as well as student-athletes, played various roles during the simulation.  

“It enhanced our relationship with the students and the training caliber we were able to expose our officers to,” said Captain Brandon Murphy ‘00, of the Special Enforcement Division.“ This also gave students in the CJ program an inside look into some of the specialties that are unique to the Manchester Police Department.” 

Politics and criminal justice major Erin Motherway ‘25 was the first student on the scene to greet the officers at 5:30 a.m., and said the exposure to a real-world scenario like this was worth waking up extra early.  

“It was just amazing to have a view of what my career could look like both up front and behind the scenes,” shared Motherway. “That was incredible and so helpful and informative.” 

Earlier in the semester, Director of Campus Safety and Security Scott Dunn approached CJ Professor Kaitlyn Clarke ‘09 about this opportunity. Dunn explained that the hands on experience is a strong enhancement to the students’ education, beyond what can be studied and researched in the classroom.  

“To actually go out there and see what it takes to be one of these officers — this was SWAT tryouts so these men were being pushed very hard — you really can’t put a value on how important that is,” said Dunn.  

Clarke said several students told her that they enjoyed participating in the training, but what they valued the most was talking with the officers after the event. 

“An advantage of being a part of the Hilltop community is how faculty and staff provide the means to connect our students with community members in the field,” Clarke said. “Students can network, see, and participate in firsthand experiential learning.” 

The smoothness of the operation, the cooperation from the students and dedication from his officers made this training exercise one of the most fruitful ones he’s conducted in his career, Murphy shared, and he would love to continue the partnership.  

“It was truly a gift to be back here and work with the Criminal Justice students, which I found refreshing,” Murphy said. “I’m looking forward to paving a relationship with the students and the school moving forward.”
