BRYANT SOFTBALL SPLITS WITH NO.16 CALDWELL SUNDAY

SMITHFIELD, RI - After dropping the opener 3-2, the Bryant University softball team came back strong to win the second, 10-2 in five innings to earn a non-conference split with 16th-ranked Caldwell College Sunday afternoon.

In the opener, Caldwell, the preseason favorite in the CACC Conference, scored two runs in the top of the first and added a single run in the third as the visiting Cougars defeated Bryant, 3-2.  Jennifer Bernier took the loss for the Bulldogs who rallied a run in the third and later in the sixth but could not get the tying run across in the seventh. Jordan Dargon doubled home Lindsey Connor for Bryant's first run in the third.

In the second game, the Bulldogs fell behind 2-0 in the third but came back to score nine runs in the bottom of the third to break the game wide open.  Connor helped key the run with a double to right while Amanda Gagne followed with a two-run single.

Janine Enos picked up the win, allowing just two runs on six hits while striking out five. Bryant will host Assumption for a Northeast-10 Conference doubleheader Wednesday.
