For the UMaine softball team, this week may feel like a little deja vu. Just like last year, the Black Bears are the #2 seed. Just like last year, Binghamton is the #1 seed and host.
The UMaine softball team got swept by UAlbany Friday afternoon at Kessock Field in Orono, 2-0 and 6-5.
With Saturday;s game now cancelled, the Black Bears are 10-6 in America East (16-23 overall).
That means the Bears are likely headed for the #2 seed in the upcoming AE tournament...
The Castleton Spartans captured the #1 seed in next week's NAC Playoffs with a doubleheader sweep of the Husson Eagles Saturday afternoon, 6-1 and 2-1.
