Binghamton took down UAlbany 9-1 and 10-9 on Friday, before falling 6-4 in the finale, while Maine captured the first two against NJIT, 12-4 & 7-3, though they faltered 2-0 in the third contest. UMass Lowell took both ends of Friday’s doubleheader against Bryan, 15-6 and 5-4. The Bulldogs won the finale 6-4.
All seven programs compete during the week, highlighted by UMBC at Maryland, Binghamton at St. Bonaventure and Marist at NJIT. Just two games separate all seven teams in the standing and that could change this weekend. UMass Lowell faces off against Maine for three, while UMBC hosts Binghamton. Finally, NJIT welcomes UAlbany for three.
