Branco, a Business Administration major with a 3.79 GPA, was recently a Northeast-10 Third Team All-Conference selection. He ranks second on Southern New Hampshire with nine goals and five assists for 23 points and has recorded multiple points on five occasions, most recently with a goal and an assist in SNHU’s 3-2 Northeast-10 semifinal win over UMass Lowell on Friday night.
