SMITHFIELD, R.I. - As Bryant University celebrates Homecoming and Reunion weekend, coach Lisa Ann Wallace will welcome back former players for an alumni game this Saturday. The game will take place at 11am and then alumni are invited to tailgate afterward.

All alumni are welcome to attend to play and then tailgate before the Bulldog football team takes on Merrimack at 1 p.m.

The softball program reached new heights last season when they took home a second straight Northeast-10 tournament championship. This year, the Bulldogs will lose only one 2005 starter and are poised to return to the NCAA Tournament.

The team also announced their fall schedule which can be found here http://www.bryantbulldogs.com/sports/sball/2006/Softball_Fall_Schedule.
