DARTMOUTH, Mass. -- A top-20 individual showing from Troy Silvestri helped the University of New England men's cross country team to a 26th-place finish in a deep, multi-division field at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Invitational on Sunday (Sep. 17). The meet had been delayed one day as a precaution for significant weather.

The 39-team event, which included programs from all three NCAA divisions, was won by Boston University with a score of 42.
