BRYANT BASEBALL TRAVELS TO DAVIDSON, N.C. THIS WEEKEND
 The Bryant University baseball team heads back out on the road this weekend when the Bulldogs travel to Davidson, North Carolina for three games. There has been a change to the weekend's schedule. Friday's game with Davidson has been moved to Saturday. The Bulldogs will play UNC-Asheville Saturday at 11 am and will face Davidson at 5 pm. Sunday's game with Davidson at 1 pm is still on.   Bryant is 0-3 on the season while Davidson (6-2) enters a mid-week two-game series at Auburn, winners of five straight.  UNC-Asheville (2-4) dropped two of three at the College of Charleston over the weekend and face Wofford and East Tennessee this week.

LAST WEEK'S OPENING WEEKEND IN LOUISIANA
 The Bryant University baseball team looks to bounce back from last weekend's trip to Thibodaux, La. for the Big Boy Classic that saw the Bulldogs drop all three games.  After rain pushed back the opener back to Saturday, Bryant fell to host Nicholls State 4-3 in the first of two the team would play on its opening day.  Following the loss, a game that saw starter Eric Polvani (Wallingford, Conn.) allow just one earned run through eight innings, the Bulldogs fell to Houston???Baptist 15-5 in the nightcap.  On Sunday, the Bulldogs led 3-2 heading into the top of the eighth against Tennessee-Martin but couldn't hold on as the Skyhawks rallied for a 6-3 win.  

QUICK HITS
 - Bryant was picked to finish 5th in the NEC this season, the school's first as a member of the conference. The Bulldogs are not eligible for the postseason tournament but will be included in the league's standings.
- Bryant was 32-22 last season including 8-1 at home
- Entering the year, Bryant returns its top two hitters from a year ago in senior catcher Jeff Vigurs (.389, 9 HR) and senior centerfielder Nick Campbell (.375, 3 HR).
- Campbell is Bryant's all-time career hits leader with 257
- With 49 doubles in his career, Vigurs needs five doubles tie Scott Yankee for the most in a career at 54. 

NICE DEBUT
 Three newcomers made a solid debut last week at Nicholls State's three-game tourney.  Freshman left fielder Kevin???Brown (Northborough, Mass.) hit .364 in three games, collecting four hits including a pair of doubles.  Junior Zak Cianciolo (Prospect, Conn.), a transfer from???UConn-Avery Point, batted .333 for the weekend with a double and RBI.  University of Vermont transfer David Soltis (Plainville, Conn.) hit.200 with a home run in the sixth inning of the opener against Nicholls State and the Bulldogs trailing 4-0.

NO NEED TO WORRY
 Bryant opened last year, its first competing at the Division I level, dropping the weekend series at Mercer College, but bounced back to win five-straight including a win over Virginia Tech.

CAMPBELL'S ADDING ON
 Senior centerfielder Nick Campbell (Raynham, Mass.), Bryant's all-time career hits leader, a mark set as a junior last year, added four more hits over the weekend to give him 261 in his career.

HOLDIN' STEADY
 Senior catcher Jeff Vigurs (South Windsor, Conn.) has been solid behind the plate during his career and enters his final year atop the all-time career fielding percentage list (.994).  Vigurs has played in 175 career games and started in 174.  Against Tennesse-Martin last Sunday, Vigurs went 3-for-4 at the plate with an RBI double.

POLVANI GETS OFF TO STRONG START
 Senior pitcher Eric Polvani (Wallingford, Conn.) had a strong outing in the team's opener against Nicholls State Saturday.  The righty went eight innings allowing just one earned run on seven hits in a 4-3 loss to the Colonels.  Polvani, Bryant's current career ERA???leader (2.34) struck out three and didn't walk a batter in the game and only gave up two extra-base hits.

SUNDAY SAL
 Freshman RHP Salvatore Lisanti (Bronx, N.Y.) made a fine debut against Tennessee-Martin on Sunday.  The newcomer gave up two runs in the second inning but after the Bulldogs came back to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the second, Lisanti kept the Skyhawks scoreless on just three hits over the next five innings before giving way in the eighth.  The Bulldogs would end up falling to UTM, 6-3.
