Minutewomen bounce back

Softball

After dropping consecutive games to strong teams from Georgia Tech and Tennessee Tech, the UMass softball team picked themselves up in winning three straight games before losing in the final of the USF adidas Invitational Tournament, 4-1, to Ohio State.

Head coach Elaine Sortino decided to tamper with her usual batting order, dropping star third baseman Whitney Mollica to fifth in the lineup. The Minutewomen scored 18 runs in the final four games of the tournament compared to the two they scored in the previous losses.

The Minutewomen now sit at 8-8-1 after the first three early-season tournaments. UMass takes part in their final tournament of the season next weekend, the FAU Parent's Weekend Tournament.

Check out tomorrow's Collegian for a full report on UMass' action over the weekend.
