UNE runs streak to eight with pair at St. Joe's

STANDISH, Maine -- The University of New England swept a softball doubleheader against Saint Joseph's College of Maine with scores of 2-0 and 11-7 (8 innings) on Thursday (Mar. 31) at Bailey Field.

Unbeaten in their last eight games, the Nor'easters improve to 11-3 on the year. The Monks fall to 5-7 overall.

The GAME 1 scoring came on one swing of the bat, as Andrea Gosper blasted a two-run shot over the left field fence in the top of the 4th, scoring Kelly Murphy.

A trio of first-year arms kept Saint Joseph's in-check throughout the contest. After Sophia Burnham gave up a hit and two walks over the first three innings, Sydnee Bessler got the win by retiring all of the Monks she faced in the 4th and 5th. Melissa Sprague picked up the save, working the last two frames with two hits and a walk.

Kristal Smith fanned five in a losing effort, conceding five hits and one free pass.

St. Joe's put its first run of the day on the board in the bottom of the 1st in GAME 2, and four lead-changes had the hosts still up one (7-6) entering the 7th. UNE manufactured the equalizer out of a lead-off walk and no hits.

The match continued into the 8th, where the Nor'easters turned a lead-off single by Sydney Helmbrecht into the deciding score after two infield errors and a wild pitch. UNE padded the cushion with one-out singles by Amanda Vallante and Murphy to go up 10-7, and Gosper flew out to the center fielder to drive in another.

Sprague gave up a walk and single with two outs to load the bases in the bottom of the stanza, but Vallante closed her glove around the final out in center to secure the result. It was the decision of the season for Sprague, who entered in the 7th and now boasts a 0.79 earned run average over 17.2 innings so far this year.

Vallante and Caroline Schoenbucher each had three hits for UNE, while Vallante plated two and Schoenbucher scored twice. Murphy and Helmbrecht contributed two hits apiece; Murphy had two RBI and Helmbrecht touched home two times. Gosper finished with three RBI in the nightcap.

Abby Lambert (RBI-single, run) concluded a four-run 3rd for the Nor'easters, which all came with two outs, and then left the UNE circle with a 4-3 edge after three innings. Katelyn Austin battled through the 4th as the Monks left the bases juiced after slipping ahead, 5-4, but then notched a one-out single and tied things up in the top of the 5th.

All of the four runs scored against Austin in the 4th, 5th, and 6th were unearned behind three errors.

For Saint Joseph's, five players recorded multiple hits in the game, with three for Megen Pollini and two each for Melodie Bailey, Katie Chadbourne, Meghan Elliott, and Mariah Harrison. Elliott had two RBI while Bailey and Chadbourne both scored two times.

Erica Boulanger pitched the initial five innings with four strikeouts. Jenelle Thompson took the loss in three innings of relief with three strikeouts, in spite of just one of the five tallies against her going down as earned.

The Nor'easters will get back to Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action this weekend with a trip to Rhode Island for twinbills against Roger Williams University (Saturday, 12 p.m.) and Salve Regina University (Sunday, 1 p.m.).

Colby (4-8) took a 7-6 win over University of Maine at Farmington in the first game on the team’s new synthetic turf field. The game with the Beavers was supposed to be played this Monday, but the coaches decided to move the date because of a cold weather forecast for Monday.

Colby pinch-hitter Matt Garcia singled to right field to score Andrew Currier in the bottom of the eighth inning for the winning run. Currier led off with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice by Bobby Forese. Blake Egan moved Currier to third base with a grounder to the shortstop.

The Beavers came back to take a 3-2 lead with three in the top of the third. Keene and Grady both had RBI singles and another run came in on a Colby error.

The Mules answered back in the bottom of the third with two more runs. Ryan Quinn led off with a single, and came all the way around to score when Zach Ellenthal singled and a throwing error helped Quinn go extra bases. Currier doubled later in the inning to bring in Ellenthal.

UMF went ahead 5-4 on lone runs in the sixth and seventh innings. The Beavers scored a run after Colby got the first two outs of the inning in the sixth. Mark Leahy, a pinch-hitter, singled to right field to bring in Chickerling. In the seventh, Jimmy Neal led off with a single, was balked to second, and stole third base. Cabaniss hit a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in Neal.

BANGOR, Maine — Husson University athletic department along with the Husson University Football program is pleased to announce the 1st Annual Stephen Colvin Memorial Powerlifting Competition on April 30 2016 inside Newman Gymnasium.

Stephen Colvin was a Hoosik Falls Central School class of 2011 graduate who believed in himself and believed in those who competed with him on the field. Stephen was also a Husson University student and member of the Husson Eagle Football team. As a captain of the HFCS football team, he brought everyone on the team to the next level because he made them believe in themselves, as he believed in himself. If he could not physically beat his opponent, he would do so with pure drive and determination. If he could not do it alone, he did it with the help of his teammates. Stephen was an example of what a teammate should be, and was loved by all his teammates at HFCS and at Husson University. Stephen lived life to the fullest and wanted those around him to do the same. It is because of that belief, his friends, family and community have come together to make the Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Scholarship Fund a reality.

The Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Scholarship Fund has been set up through his friends, family and community to assist those with dreams of playing college level sports, as Stephen did, can become a reality. There will be one male and one female candidate chosen each year.

The competition will be held on April 30th at 9 o'clock at Husson University in the Newman Gymnasium. The event is open to all those who wish to participate. The competition will benefit the Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Memorial Scholarship Fund.
