The UMBC Softball team will play its first mid-week contests of the season as it travels to Towson on Tuesday at 2 p.m., and then hosts George Mason on Wednesday 6 p.m.

The Retrievers once again rallied from an early hole, fighting back from a 3-0 first inning deficit, but visiting Fairleigh Dickinson broke a fifth inning tie to win 5-4.

Jerzie Nutile went 3-for-4 with a homer and Parker Kraus had her first career RBI in the contest. Hailey Luginbill and Amya Lundy also drove in runs for UMBC, while Amaya Caroll also had a hit.

Maggie Frisvold was brilliant in relief, going 4.2 innings giving up just the one run on a pair of soft singles.

UMBC will host another tournament this upcoming weekend.
