Rain, Rain, Go Away

With some idle time before heading back down to the basement and turning the sump pump back on...

The heavy rain which has blanketed the area since Sunday night has wreaked havoc on Wentworth's sports schedules. Please check the website for daily updates.

With Saturday's postponement against Endicott bumping a non-conference game against UMass Dartmouth on Thursday (the latter will be made up on April 14), the baseball team will play eight conference games in five days. After traveling to Endicott Thursday, the Leopards will be at Nichols on Friday (those game will be played at Worcester Academy), "home" against Eastern Nazarene on Saturday (at Adams Field in Quincy - this doubleheader was moved off of April 14 to accommodate late-season makeups and, as of now, allow the Leopards to play UMass Darmouth), and travel to Gordon on Monday.

Wentworth's softball team had its re-scheduled doubleheader against Eastern Nazarene postponed on Monday and it will be made up on Monday, April 5, at home. The Leopards were supposed to play at Gordon this afternoon, but heavy rains forced that postponement. The two teams will try and play tomorrow and if Gordon's field is unplayable, the game could be switched to Wentworth.

The 3-0 Wentworth men's tennis team had its trip to Colby-Sawyer postponed for a week as the two teams will make up a match on Tuesday, April 6.

One Leopard team braved the elements as Wentworth's lacrosse team lost at Gordon, 13-6. The Leopards have their next two games at home, beginning with a TCCC game against Anna Maria Thursday night.

Inclement weather didn't just mess with outdoor sports. The Leopard men's volleyball team had its match at Johnson & Wales postponed until Thursday night, due to travel concerns related to rain, flooding, and wind.

Maybe by the time the next post comes out the sun will be out (and my basement will be dry?)...
