LOWELL, Mass. – In 2018, the UMass Lowell softball team set out to make a statement in its first year of full Division I eligibility.
 
For the second consecutive year, the River Hawks took second place in the final America East regular-season standings with a 12-5 record in league games. Not only did the team match a Division I program best for conference wins, but for overall wins, as well, with a 21-28 mark in 2018 with a schedule that featured six NCAA Tournament qualifiers. 
 
"I think finishing in second place for the second straight year shows that it wasn't a fluke and this team is here to stay," said Head Coach Danielle Henderson. "This is who our team is. We are going to fight and show a lot of poise, and I do think we have made a name for ourselves in this league."
