Softball Season Comes to a Close

Softball Team Wins NAC Championship, Advances to NCAA Tournament

The UMF softball team earned the North Atlantic Conference championship on Sunday with a pair of victories over #1 seed Elms College.  The Beavers will advance to the double elimination NCAA national tournament for the first team in program history as the NAC's first ever representative in the tournament.

UMaine-Farmington sophomore pitcher Stephanie Moriarty (Sandwich, MA) earned a pair of victories and was named Tournament Most Valuable Player to help lead the No. 4 Beavers to a pair of upset victories over No. 1 Elms College in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Softball Tournament Championship on Sunday afternoon at Leary Field.

UMaine-Farmington won the first game 2-1 and then posted a 9-8 win in the deciding game to earn the NAC's first-ever automatic qualifier to the upcoming NCAA Division III Tournament.

Elms College, which was trying to earn its second NCAA Division III Tournament berth in the last three years, finished 26-9 overall.

The Beavers (19-12 overall) rallied for single runs in the fifth and seventh innings to earn a 2-1 victory in the first game to stave off elimination.

In the deciding game, the Beavers plated three runs in the top of the seventh to overcome a 5-2 deficit with two outs to send the game to extra innings.

In that inning, sophomore first baseman Megan McCrum (Bangor, ME) kept the Beavers alive by delivering a two-out RBI double and junior left fielder Brandi Rideout (Mattawamkeag, ME) followed with a two-run double to deep left center field to tie the game at 5-5.

After the two teams exchanged single runs in the eighth inning, UMaine-Farmington erupted for three runs in the top of the ninth, highlighted by senior designated player Cynthia Ravinski's (Norton, MA) two-run double down the left field line, and McCrum's RBI double to left field.

Although the Blazers plated a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the ninth, Moriarty induced an infield popout to seal the Beavers' first-ever bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

2005 UMaine Farmington Softball Season Outlook
The 2005 UMF softball team is looking forward to the season opener on April 1st. There is optimism for a very competitive season with more depth and experience at every position. Twelve new players will be joining ten returners to round out what is expected to be one of the most competitive softball squads UMF has fielded.

PITCHING
Junior Lauren Stacey (West Baldwin, ME) and sophomore Stephanie Moriarty (Sandwich, MA) should be solid leaders for the pitching staff. Moriarty is coming off a 9-5 freshman year and Stacey has two health knees for the first time in three years. Freshman Meagen Carmen (Unity, ME) will see some action throughout the season to give the staff three very solid pitchers.

INFIELD
The infield will feature senior first baseman Cindy Ravinski (Norton, MA) is looking to have a strong year as one of UMF’s leading hitters and RBI specialists. Second base has several freshmen battling for a starting position: Megan Goodrow (Oakland, ME) looks to be the leading candidate with Kelly McDonough (Windham, ME) and Michelle Derouche (Skowhegan, ME) looking for playing time as well. Sara Martin (Strong, ME) should give UMF a solid shortstop with Megan Goodrow backing up when needed. Junior Mary Berry (Norridgewock, ME) will continue to play third after making the transition from first and will be a solid hitter as well. Freshmen Emily Davis (Cumberland, ME) can fill in when needed. Holly Tripp (Ellsworth, ME), the Beavers’ leading hitter as a freshman with at .675 slugging percentage, should provide solid leadership behind the plate with Jen Brouillette (Sandwich, MA) a solid back up when not playing in the outfield. Junior Ashley Symington (Dennis, MA) will add experience at the catching position.

OUTFIELD
Junior Kristi Cochin (Springvale, ME) should provide the outfield with solid leadership in center. She will be surrounded by a core of new players fighting for playing time. First year players Emily Davis, Renee Trafton (Corinth, ME), Brandi Rideout (Mattawamkeag, ME) and Megan McCrum (Bangor, ME) will be battling for starting positions in the outfield.

This year the Beavers hope to win the one run games that will give them the chance to be a top team in the North Atlantic Conference and make a run at a conference title and NCAA appearance.
