Nighthawks Fly South

Spring has arrived. The Newbury College baseball and softball teams return from spring break in Orlando, Fl where they tuned-up for their inaugural 2009 New England Collegiate Conference season.

The Nighthawks softball team kicked off the start of their first year in the NECC, under head coach, Christine Grenache, as they headed down to Florida competing in eight competitive spring break contests. Baseball and softball's trips provided a competitive atmosphere as well as a good recruiting chip for the two programs. The teams finished out the week with a 1-6 and 0-8 record, respectively, before heading back north to begin NECC action. 

Baseball faces Rhode Island College on Sunday March 22 before their first home game on Saturday March 28 against Southern Vermont College. Softball will open up at home this Saturday (3/21) against St. Joseph's College at 12:00 pm and will begin conference play a week later with afternoon games against Mitchell College (3/28) and Lesley University (4/2).
