Thomas College Softball First Place
North Atlantic Conference foe Lesley University (14-2 NAC, 22-8 overall) visits Thomas College
(15-1 NAC, 18-9 overall) to challenge the Terriers for the
NAC regular season title Saturday, April 26th at 1pm in a
pivotal late season doubleheader in Waterville. The school
with the best regular season conference record will host
the NAC Softball Championship next weekend.
The second place Lynx from Cambridge, MA are poised to
pounce on the opportunity to complete their best conference
season to date. The only problem in the way is that Coach Paul
Rodrigue has the Terriers in the top dawg spot of first place
in the NAC.
This 1-2 matchup will be a dream softball matchup for sports fans.
The game will feature two of the best pitchers in the
conference Alicia Burnett, Gulf Breeze, FL and Nicole Smith,
Bucksport, ME. Each of them carry into the game an earned run
average of less than 2 runs per game. Local Winslow High School
graduate and the 2006 NAC Rookie of the Year Brittany Morin is
scheduled to play as well.
The 2008 softball season marks Paul Rodrigue's sixth year
as head softball coach of the Lady Terriers. Coach Rodrigue
was inducted into the Maine Sports Legends Hall of Honor in
2005.
