LOWELL, MA (May 7, 2007) – The UMass Lowell softball team, fresh off the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament championship Sunday, earned the No. 8 seed in the 2007 NCAA Tournament Northeast Regional to be hosted by C.W. Post Thursday, May 10 through Sunday, May 13, in Brookville, NY.

No. 4 Adelphi (38-10) and No. 5 Georgian Court (28-22) will open the Tournament Thursday at 9:00 while the River Hawks (28-20) meet No. 1 Le Moyne (32-15) at 11:30.

In the other games, No. 3 Dowling (36-16) meets No. 6 Bryant (24-16) Thursday at 2:00, and is followed by No. 2 C.W. Post (41-15) vs. No. 7 Southern Connecticut (32-15) at 4:30.

With a victory over Le Moyne, the River Hawks will meet the winner between Adelphi and Georgian Court Friday at 4:30 in the winners bracket. With a loss, UML would meet the Adelphi-GCU loser Friday at 11:30.

Live in-game statistics will be available throughout the tournament at www.cwpostpioneers.com.

The NCAA Tournament appearance is UML’s second straight, third in the last five years and fourth in school history. Last year, in a rain-shortened tournament hosted by Bryant, UML defeated Caldwell (3-2) in the opener, but fell to C.W. Post (2-1) and Adelphi (5-1).

UML enters the NCAAs winner in 13 of its last 16 games, including last weekend’s historic run to its first-ever NE-10 Tournament championship.

The River Hawks have a 3-10 record against its NCAA Tournament counterparts this season, and face a Le Moyne squad for the fourth time in the last 10 days. The Dolphins swept the season series 2-0 and 5-4, but UML prevailed on Friday in the second round of the NE-10 Tournament, 4-2.

“We seem to be peaking at the right time,” said UML coach Harry Sauter, in his 13th season. “I think over the last two weeks we only had that one bad day against Le Moyne, but I thought we played well despite the losses.

“Our pitching has gotten better and I think Kristen (Mahoney) and Lindsay (Farmer) are throwing with more confidence,” Sauter added. “But no opponent will be
