March 31, 2005 COLLEGE PARK, MD - The UMES softball team dropped their non-conference doubleheader against the Maryland Terrapins on Thursday, losing both games 9-0 at Terrapin Complex. Maryland (16-10) took an early lead at the bottom of the first, as Crystal Tweedy and Lindsay Klein each scored to give the Terps a 2-0 advantage. Maryland added three more in the second, as Keri Lounge singled to drive in two more runs and Natalie Grossman plated to push the Terps up 5-0. The Lady Hawks (3-15) gave up three unearned runs in the third to push the Maryland advantage to 8-0. Lauren Pollack singled in the next inning to drive in Nikki Smith, giving the Terps a 9-0 advantage after four innings played. Jennifer Wilson (Princess Anne, MD/Washington) and Heather Patnode (Jefferson, MD/Brunswick) got on base for UMES in the fifth inning, but they were left stranded as Maryland walked away with the 9-0 victory. The Terps scored early in the second game as well, taking a 4-0 advantage in the first behind a three run homer by Klein. Pollack added two RBI in the second inning and Nneka Cardoza scored to push Maryland's lead to 7-0 at the end of two. Wilson led off at the top of the fourth and singled to get her second hit of the day, but the Lady Hawks were not able to put anything together as the next three batters went down in order to leave UMES scoreless. The Terrapins plated two more runners in the fifth to secure the victory. Wilson led the Lady Hawks, going 2-4 on the day while Marlee Johnson (Stouffville, Ontario/Newmarket), Jenille Edwards (Brampton, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas), and Patnode each added one hit. UMES returns to conference play this weekend, facing off against Delaware State in a road matchup beginning at 2:00pm.
