SOFTBALL ADVANCES TO CONFERENCE TITLE GAME

SYRACUSE, NY – The Bryant University softball team advanced to the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament Final after beating Saint Michael's College 1-0 in the winner's bracket final played today.  Earlier Saturday, the Bulldogs knocked off UMass Lowell by the same score of 1-0.  

Bryant's record now stands at 28-15 overall, equalling the school record for wins in a season held by the 1993 team. Bryant will play the winner of Sunday's elimination game between Saint Michael's and top-seeded Le Moyne which starts at 10 a.m. Bryant needs just one more win in two possible games to capture the title.

Against Saint Michael's, Bryant scored its only run in the second inning when Jordan Dargon (right), hit a leadoff double. Diane Cummings would follow with an RBI single, scoring Dargon.

Once again defense played a big role in the win for the Bulldogs. Dargon played well behind plate, and helped keep the Purple Knights off the scoreboard with two outstanding catches.  

Dargon finished the game a perfect 2-for-2 offenseively with a double and the only run scored.

Cummings got the win for Bryant going seven innings, allowing four hits, and striking out two. Meggan Roberge was the hard luck loser allowing one run, on two hits, and striking out six.
