The University of Maine softball team enters year two of the Deb Smith era expecting more offensive balance and a return to the America East tournament. The Black Bears will go forth without offensive force and 2000 America East Player of the Year Sara Jewett, who graduated after a stellar four-year career. Though it’s impossible to replace a player of Jewett’s caliber, Coach Smith expects better offensive production throughout the lineup to make up for the loss.
