Coming in unbeaten in conference play, the Stony Brook softball team looked to continue its streak this past weekend as the Seawolves traveled north to Orono, Maine to take on the Maine Black Bears in a three-game series. While Stony Brook took its first conference loss, the team still won the series due to dominant pitching.
Game one on Saturday was a battle of the aces, as the Seawolves’ best pitcher, senior Dawn Bodrug, would go face-to-face with Black Bears’ star pitcher, senior Kyleigh O’Donnell. The pitching lived up to its hype, as the bats were quiet until late.

After a rough 2-10 start to the season for the University of Maine softball team, the Black Bears have rebounded to go 5-3 in their last eight games.
How you start a season is important, but how you end it has even more impact. Despite an overall record of 7-13, the Black Bears’ in-conference record sits at 4-2. That leaves the team tied for second in the conference, following only Stony Brook who hashave remained undefeated in conference games. For a season that seemed to be going off the rails in March, the team looks like they’re to recouping their losses in order to show up strong for the America East conference in May.
