SCOUTING THE RIVER HAWKS
The River Hawks were swept in three against William & Mary last weekend and stand at 2-5 entering a busy stretch. The team split a doubleheader at Fairleigh Dickinson on Sunday before playing a single game on the road against Hofstra (3-8) on Monday and Fordham (3-10) on Tuesday.

BUSY STRETCH
The River Hawks will play eight games in seven days.

STREAKING
Matthew Sanchez and Danny Mendick have each reached base in all seven games this year and have a hit in six of the clubs games. Going back to last season Sanchez has reached base in 13 straight games and holds a 12-game hit streak while Mendick has now reached base safely in 11 straight with a eight game hit streak.

SHUFFLING THE SCHEDULE
The River Hawks moved Saturday's doubleheader against the Knights to Sunday, March 15th with first pitch of game one scheduled for noon. They also added a game against Hofstra on Monday, March 16th that will be played at Mitchel Park, on the campus of Nassau Community College at 3:30 p.m. The clubs "home opener" against Yale will be played at Fiondella Field on the University of Hartford campus instead of a snow covered LeLacheur Park on Thursday, March 29th at 3 p.m.

RIVER HAWKS IN THE AE
UMass Lowell ranks among the conference leaders in several categories. The team leads the America East in on base percentage (.364) and stolen bases (17) while ranking second in batting average (.274) and third in runs scored (39), RBI (37) and doubles (13).
