The Fighting Scots have a quick turn around as they travel to Salem State tomorrow, April 2 to face the Vikings for a 3:30 p.m. start.
Game One
- The Gulls, Adrianna Favreau (So./Tewksbury,Mass.), tripled to right scoring Gina DeMilt (Sr./Princeton,N.J.) to put the home team up one in the bottom of the first.
- Both squads were not able to get their offense going with neither team advancing a runner past second until the fourth when Endicott scored three runs on three hits to take a 4-0 lead.
- In the top of the sixth, Lily Rivera and Caitlin Catalanatto hit back to back doubles allowing two runs to cross the plate to cut the lead in half. However, that was the closest Gordon would get as the Gulls took game one, 4-2.
