One of the greatest two-sport athletes in the history of Charger Athletics, Becky Snow excelled on the basketball court and the softball field from 1996 to 2000. She ranks as one of the greatest hitters in UNH softball history and one of the greatest scorers in UNH women’s basketball history.

Snow wasted no time making an impact for the Chargers during her freshman campaign. The guard started 25 games for the basketball team and scored 377 points, including a UNH record 55 three-pointers. Her transition to the softball field was seamless as she posted a .352 batting average and started 41 games in the spring. She was named All-Northeast Region Second Team and was second on the team with 44 hits.

In her sophomore year, Snow became a leader on the court as she led the women’s basketball team with 15.7 points per game. She scored another 59 long-range shots and became New Haven’s all-time leader in three-pointers after just two seasons. Fresh off her stint as leading scorer with the women’s basketball team, she batted .321 with 43 hits, 22 runs batted in and 21 runs scored for the softball team. She was recognized as an All-New England Collegiate Conference honoree at the conclusion of the spring season.

Snow continued to show she was one of the best multi-sport players in the region during her junior year. She scored her 1,000th career point on the basketball court early in the season and finished with 13.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. She also improved her career three-point record to 170 during the 1998-99 season. Snow then joined the softball team after the conclusion of the winter season and played both catcher and designated player. She led the team with a .303 batting average including 36 hits and 11 runs batted in. She also earned her second All-New England Collegiate Conference and All-Region selections as a junior.

The Rensselaer, N.Y. native capped her career at UNH with another impressive year. She scored 63 baskets from behind the arc on her way to sealing the top four spots in the women’s basketball single-season record books. She helped lead the Chargers to their fourth-straight postseason appearance before heading back to the softball field. Snow once again earned All-New England Collegiate Conference honors after posting a .260 batting average and a team-high 21 runs batted in.

In four years at UNH, Snow played in over 275 combined games and helped lead the Chargers to four postseason appearances. She holds the record for career three-pointers with 235 and ranks seventh all time with 1,551 career points. She also holds the top four single-season totals for three-pointers. On the softball field, Snow finished her career with four postseason selections and a .309 batting average. At the time of her graduation, she ranked fourth all-time in at-bats, eighth all-time in hits and 10th all-time in runs batted in.
