Maine did not qualify for the playoffs. But Waters had a banner year, finishing the season leading Maine in almost every hitting category:

  • .352 batting average
  • .612 slugging percentage
  • .400 on base percentage
  • 33 runs scored
  • 58 hits
  • 11 doubles
  • 10 home runs
  • 101 total bases

    And 30 RBIs (second in this category behind Terren Hall, who had 31)

    Her 58 hits, 10 home runs and 101 total bases were tops in America East.

    Here is a feature on Waters that ran last week.

    In case you missed it. . .

    1. A story about former Maine soccer player Adam Baxter that ran Sunday as part of a two-day series on alcohol abuse in college. Baxter died tragically last fall from alcohol poisoning. He was 19.

    2. Tuesday's UMaine notebook, led with track standout Donny Drake.

    Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

    A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

    She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
    excellent-gas-mileage
    Honda Civic to prove it.


    Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
