The Atlanta Gladiators announced Tuesday evening that the ECHL ice hockey club has signed forward Peter Morgan for the 2025-26 season.
Morgan, 25, joins the Gladiators for his first season of professional hockey after a successful four-year college career playing NCAA Division III hockey at SUNY-Geneseo, where he scored 56 goals, and 84 assists for 140 points in 110 games with the Ice Knights from 2021 to 2025.
The 5-foot-6, 161-pound forward was a scoring machine for the Ice Knights, leading the team in scoring in each of his four seasons at SUNY-Geneseo. His freshman year, he scored 18 goals and 25 assists for 43 points in 28 games and was named SUNYAC Rookie of the Year as the Ice Knights advanced all the way to the National Championship Game, ultimately falling to Adrian. Morgan was named the team’s Captain for the 2024-25 season, finishing with 15 goals and 22 assists for 37 points in 30 games.
A native of Sarasota, Fla., Morgan preceded his college career with three years of junior experience in the North American Hockey league with the Aberdeen Wings, Amarillo Bulls, and Kenai River Brown Bears, scoring 39 goals and 66 assists for 105 points in 133 career games. Morgan and the Wings won the Robertson Cup Championship in 2019, his first season in the NAHL.
“Peter joins our group after a very successful career at Geneseo. Despite his small stature, Peter plays a tenacious game and is not afraid to get into the dirty areas,” Gladiators head coach and director of hockey operations Matt Ginn said. “He is a skilled forward that creates offence using both his feet and his vision. Peter is a very driven player that has no quit and we are excited to add him to our group.”
Morgan joins Andrew Jarvis, Ryan Nolan, Connor Galloway, Isak Walther and Brendan Datema as Gladiators who have signed for the 2025-26 season.

Sophia Panaccione ’15, D.O., an internal medicine physician and medical educator specializing in infectious diseases at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School, will deliver the Summer Commencement keynote address on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025, at King’s College William S. Scandlon Physical Education Center.
Panaccione will address a group of approximately 100 graduates, most of whom will receive bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the health sciences. The event also includes the first graduates of the College’s new accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The procession of graduates begins at 10 a.m. and will be livestreamed at kings.edu/commencement.
Panaccione attended King’s College from 2011 through 2015 as a recipient of the Presidential Scholarship. She majored in neuroscience, with minors in biology and psychology. On campus, she was an engaged mentor, spending much of her time as an admission ambassador, student teacher, tutor, student learning coordinator, and resident assistant. Off campus, she volunteered at a local shelter for unhoused women.
She then attended medical school at the University of New England. Afterwards, she completed her internal medicine residency at Lankenau Medical Center in Wynnewood, Pa., where she treated critically ill patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually rising to chief medical resident from 2022 through 2023.
Panaccione completed her specialty medical training at Brown University in Providence, R.I., where she now serves as an assistant professor of medicine and clinician educator in the division of infectious diseases.
Her specialty is providing care for patients with complex infections, including individuals living with HIV. She is also an advocate for improving health care access for unhoused individuals and those with a history of criminal-legal involvement and incarceration in Rhode Island.
“My time at King’s College was pivotal in my growth and development on my path in becoming a young female physician,” said Panaccione. “The experiences I had and mentors I met provided me with a humanistic foundation and helped propel my scientific and medical career. I am forever grateful for the impact these four years had on my life and am looking forward to return to such an influential place to share my experiences with, soon to be, fellow alumni.”
“Sophia’s work healing patients with serious diseases, especially individuals from our most vulnerable communities, is a powerful perspective to share with our next generation of health science graduates,” said King’s College president Rev. Thomas P. Looney, C.S.C., Ph.D. “Our mission — to forge graduates who champion the inherent dignity of every person and use their talents to serve the common good — comes to life with every student like Sophia, and we’re grateful she is able to return to King’s College and inspire others to follow that path.”

EASTON, Mass. (August 5, 2025) – The Stonehill College women’s soccer team has been picked to finish fifth in the 2025 NEC Women’s Soccer Preseason Coaches’ Poll, as announced by the conference Tuesday afternoon.
The Skyhawks, who earned their highest preseason ranking since transitioning to NCAA Division I in 2022, will kick off the 2025 season on Thursday, August 14, when they travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to face Boston College. Reigning NEC champion Howard University was selected as the preseason favorite to defend its title, earning seven first-place votes. FDU placed second in the poll with four first-place nods, followed by Wagner in third with one first-place vote. Central Connecticut State rounded out the top four.
Stonehill’s fifth-place selection marks a program-best showing in the NEC preseason rankings, improving on last year’s seventh-place projection. The Skyhawks are coming off a strong 2024 season, finishing 8-10-1 overall and 7-2-1 in conference play to earn their first-ever NEC postseason appearance.
Head coach Alex Wilson enters her 13th season at the helm with a roster that returns 23 student-athletes, bolstered by the addition of seven newcomers. The returning group includes 2024 NEC Offensive Player of the Year Hannah Anselmo, All-NEC Second Team honoree Lily Roslonek, and the league’s top-scoring rookie from last season, Erin Foley.
Anselmo led the Skyhawks with 22 points on eight goals and six assists, with seven of those goals coming during NEC play—ranking first among conference scorers. Foley, an NEC All-Rookie Team selection, paced all first-year players in the league with six goals during her debut season.
Defensively, Roslonek anchors the backline alongside Lindsey Brown, both of whom ranked among the team’s top five in minutes played with 1,584 and 1,258 minutes, respectively. Sophomore goalkeeper Allie Sougaris returns after posting a 1.21 goals-against average and recording four shutouts—setting a Division I program record for single-season clean sheets and marking the most by a Skyhawk goalkeeper since Kaitlin Brown’s eight in 2018.

OSU midfielders Xcaret Pineda and Laudan Wilson and defender Jazmin Brown made the list of the league’s top 27 players, while the Cowgirls were picked by the coaches to finish seventh in the 16-team league.
TCU is the Big 12 favorite, receiving 13 first-place votes, while Texas Tech came in second with a pair of first-place nods. BYU, West Virginia, Kansas and Colorado were also picked ahead of the Cowgirls.
OSU is coming off a 2024 season in which it finished 14-5-3 overall and made its 14th appearance in the NCAA Championship. A year ago, the Cowgirls were picked to finish eighth in the preseason Big 12 poll but posted a 6-3-2 mark and fifth-place finish.
The Cowgirls return seven players who started at least 10 games last season, led by Pineda and Wilson, who were both All-Big 12 First Team performers.
A senior, Pineda has played in 61 career games and recorded 14 goals and 11 assists. She tallied six goals each of the last two seasons and also posted four assists as a junior en route to All-Midwest Region First Team honors.
Wilson is coming off a sophomore season in which she was OSU’s leading scorer with 19 points as she scored a career-high five goals and ranked second in the Big 12 with nine assists. She has eight goals and 15 assists in 39 career games.
Brown played her first three collegiate seasons at Kansas State, where she appeared in 55 games with 53 starts, before transferring to Stillwater for her final year.
As a junior last season, Brown started 18 games and earned All-Big 12 Second Team accolades while leading the Wildcats’ field players in minutes played with 1,450.
Women’s Soccer’s Kronewetter and Perhne Conclude Summer Trip to Italy

ITALY — TheAdrian College women’s soccer team sent two of its members overseas to Italy earlier this summer, as Head Coach, Nathan Kronewtter, and rising Junior, Melanie Perhne, took part in an exclusive invitation-only tour of Italy organized by Beyond Sports from June 15 to June 24, 2025.
Over the course of the ten-day trip, student-athletes visited Milan and Lake Como, explored Tuscany’s Montecatini Terme region, and concluded in Rome, engaging in three exhibition matches against respected Italian club teams and emerging undefeated with a 3–0 record.
Adrian’s standout representative, Melanie Perhne, primarily featured at outside back throughout the trip but was shifted to forward in a decisive match versus a Serie C Roma club. She even delivered the game-winning goal in a closely contested 2–1 victory, demonstrating both tactical versatility and composure under pressure. “Both my teammate and coach at Adrian went on this trip last summer and had nothing but great things to say about their experiences,” added Perhne about her opportunity. “I decided to challenge myself to do something new and different with this trip to Italy.” Perhne went on to chat about how excited she was to experience new opportunities and meet other athletes on her trip. “I’m most excited about meeting new people and experiencing a new culture, as well as playing international soccer and learning different styles of play.”
Coach Nathan Kronewetter served as the tour coach and liaison through Beyond Sports, orchestrating the College’s international representation and laying the groundwork for future overseas endeavors. Off the field, the squad immersed themselves in cultural experiences including a guided Milan city tour and San Siro Stadium visit, a scenic boat ride to Bellagio on Lake Como, a Tuscan cooking class and visits to Pisa and Lucca, time exploring Cinque Terre’s coastal villages, and evenings touring Rome’s historic sites, creating lasting memories and fostering global awareness beyond soccer.
This inaugural Italy tour represents a significant milestone for Adrian College Women’s Soccer, something that Kronewetter has implemented yearly since joining the Bulldogs. “I have been blessed with many opportunities to travel the world, explore different cultures and to gain international experiences all through the sport of soccer,” said Kronewetter. “Beyond Sports offers collegiate soccer players an avenue to experience an international soccer tour for those that didn’t have the opportunity to go on an overseas tour with their own college program. I have been fortunate enough to assist on these tours in organization and as a tour coach both in Spain and Italy. I am honored to represent Adrian College and our women’s soccer program both internationally against some very good competition as well as within the organization where we work together to offer great experiences to student-athletes from around the states and their respective collegiate programs,” added Kronewetter, who enters his third season with Adrian in 2025. Kronewetter’s time with Beyond Sports has also led to professional opportunities for his previous athletes around the world, as recent graduate Emma Dalzochio also obtained an internship in Greece.
“As a former player who was fortunate enough to play in some of the largest international youth tournaments throughout Europe while in high school, and then experience an overseas collegiate tour with my own college program, I understand the value and importance of these opportunities,” said Kronewetter. “It goes way beyond soccer, it’s about life and an understanding that there is so much out there to pursue and experience. Sport is a vehicle to open these doors, and the educational experiences that are around each and every corner is proof that soccer can take you places. These trips have afforded me an opportunity to network and lay the foundation for future potential international trips for our Adrian College women’s soccer student-athletes. I am always searching for ways to better our student-athlete experience here at Adrian College and an international tour with our players in the near future would be an adventure of a lifetime.”
The duo’s trip to Italy strongly reflects the institution’s dedication to combining athletic performance, cultural literacy, and academic achievement. Moreover, it establishes a powerful precedent for future global engagement opportunities for student-athletes.
