Women's cross country runner Brittney Sorbello has been named the UNE Athlete of the Month for September 2013.
Following a first-place finish at the season-opening Saint Joseph's Duel in late August, Sorbello won all three of the full-field events she ran in during September.
At the UNE Invitational, the first-year runner posted a time of 19:17 (4.7 km) for a win by 0:08 seconds over the 137-runner field. Sorbello bested the second-place finisher (of 177) at the Pop Crowell Invitational by just 0:01, after clocking a 20:16 (5 km). Then she claimed the individual title at the Elms Invitational with a 19:57 time (5 km) -- a victory by 23 seconds in the 129-runner race.
For her efforts, Sorbello collected three Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Rookie of the Week honors, two CCC Runner of the Week awards, and two Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Runner of the Week accolades.
