The Bears guaranteed themselves a winning season for the first time in seven years and just the second time in the 11-year history of the program.

Eric Hudson has a huge second half in the come-from-behind win.

BABSON PARK, MASS.--(1/30/10)--Senior Eric Hudson had 11 of his game-high 15 points in the second half and a trio of freshmen led a key 9-0 run late in the second half as Coast Guard battled back from a seven-point halftime deficit to beat Babson 62-55 in a New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game.

Coast Guard shot 60 percent in the second half (15-25) with junior Jevon James having nine of his 11 points in the half.

Babson (9-10, 2-5) led 46-41 following a 3-pointer by Matt Florio with 8:15 left in the game before the Bears scored nine straight to take a 50-46 lead with 5:20 left. A trio of freshman, Jimmy Knudsen, Ed Gailor and Greg Marshall accounted for the final three hoops of the run. Knudsen and Gailor had back-to-back steals and layups before Marshall capped the run on a 3-pointer.

Melissa Martinelli became the Bears all-time leading scorer and now has 1,642 career points.

NEW LONDON, CONN.--(1/27/10)--Senior Melissa Martinelli became the Bears all-time leading scorer as she finished with a team-high 17 points in a 62-48 loss to MIT in a New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game.

Martinelli broke the scoring mark in the closing seconds on a driving layup in the lane with 22 ticks on the clock to give her 1,642 points passing former teammate Natalie Moyer (‘08), who held the scoring record with 1,640 points. Martinelli also grabbed 14 rebounds while freshman Karli Collins had career highs with 14 points and 14 rebounds in the loss.

Freshman Anna Merrifield led all scorers with 20 points including four of six from 3-point range to lead MIT.

Jen Ferreira and Jeffrey, who she helped deliver in Haiti.

Coast Guard ensign Jen Ferreira (‘09), a four-year letter winner on the Coast Guard Academy women’s soccer team, had four years of academic and military preparation at the Academy, but delivering a baby is not part of the curriculum at the Academy.

She was aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma, with a crew of about 100, when they arrived in the harbor off Port-au-Prince two days after the earthquake struck and they discovered several injured people and no medical care available. The crew created a makeshift clinic near the Coast Guard base and stabilized severely injured Haitians so they could be taken to the American ship for better treatment.

“We gathered members from the crew with any medical training to go and help”, Ferreira wrote in an email. Jen had taken an EMT course in high school which allowed her to be able to contribute a great deal in the crisis as hundreds of people were injured and dying at the clinic. Many members of the Tahoma had CPR and basic first aid training. Most crew members who went over had no more than CPR and basic first aid, but they were still able to provide vital care.
