BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England men's cross country team had all five of its scoring runners in the Top 10, including the meet's winner, junior CJ Vallie, to take the 2014 UNE Invitational Saturday morning (Sept. 13) at Rotary Park.

The victory was the Nor'easters' first triumph at their own event after finishing second four of the last five years. UNE totaled 24 points to earn the title.

Vallie circled the course in a time of 26:15 to top Ian Barber of Lesley University by 13 seconds. Vallie had to chase down Barber, who led for a signficant portion of the race.

UNE senior Shane Murphy was third with a time of 26:28, while classmates Peter LePage (26:46) and Chad Lyons (26:49) along with sophomore Paul Mangiafico (26:55) grabbed the 8th, 9th and 10th spots to complete Big Blue's contingent of scoring runners.

First-year Jon Zalman also cracked the Top 20, clocking 27:24 to finish 14th.

The Nor'easters are idle for a week before competing at the Pop Crowell Invitational hosted by Gordon College on Sept. 27.
