Fellow Chronicle writer Peter Dewey (right) and me (left) prior to Quinnipiac men’s basketball’s game at the Nassau Coliseum in New York.

I began working for the student-run school newspaper, the Quinnipiac Chronicle, within my first weeks on campus in 2016. I was quickly elevated to Associate Sports Editor after my first year (April 2017), then Sports Editor the next semester (December 2017). My jobs as Sports Editor included posting all sports content (recaps, features, etc.) online, assigning my staff of 10 writers to cover games each week and coordinating interviews with athletes through SIDs for feature pieces.

After a year running the sports section, I took a managing editor role as Web Director, which allowed me to oversee the entire group and online publication. This included editing and posting all written content on our website and on social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook). While serving this position, I retained my role as men’s basketball reporter and covered sports when needed.

Some of my fondest memories include road trips with my fellow sports writers to cover men’s and women’s basketball games.

Spike it like Sherwin

“When there’s no block – and you can see that there’s no block – it’s a great feeling. You know that the defense behind you is calling out who’s up and who’s not blocking. If you hear a ‘Hole!’ call, you know that it’s going to be a good swing on it.”

There are few things in sports that make the crowd roar – a slam dunk, a home run or a goal, maybe. But the feeling of swatting a clean spike in volleyball? That’s the best feeling in the world for Quinnipiac sophomore Morgan Sherwin.

In more ways than one, there wasn’t always that assurance that she would be spiking volleyballs at the Division I college level.
