LOWELL, MASS. (April 23, 2002)

softball team dropped
a 3-1 loss to UMass Lowell in game one, but rebounded in
game two to pull off a 1-0 victory in Northeast-10 Conference
softball doubleheader action this afternoon.
The River Hawks were led in game
one by Rebecca Regula, who hit three-for-four with two runs
scored. Amber Gagnon went 2-3 with an RBI.
UML jumped out to the early lead
in the bottom of the first, as Regula drew a bases loaded
walk to help the River Hawks to take the 1-0 lead. FP
answered
in the top of the second was sophomore
Brooke Remington (Bennington,
Vt./Mount Anthony) advanced to first on a walk,
moved to second on a passed ball and was singled in by freshman
Kayla Dejardins (Plainfield, Conn./Plainfield)
to knot the score 1-1.
Gagnon knocked in what proved to
be the gamewinner in the fifth as she singled to left and
sent Regula home to put the River Hawks up by one. Caitlin
Romano then singled in Tabitha Hebert to ice the 3-1 win.
Gagnon allowed one earned run, scattered
three hits, walked three and struck out none in a complete
game effort to improve to 13-5. FPC's Kalene Wotton
(Westminster, Mass./Oakmont) allowed three earned
runs on nine hits, struck out two and walked five in six
innings of work for the loss.
