MAY 18, 1990 – “Don’t expect a budding Plymouth State College in the making athletically when Rivier College goes co-ed a year from this fall.

” ‘I really don’t know what direction the school is going to go,’ Rivier athletic director Joanne Merrill said. “To be quite honest, I really can’t tell you anything.’

“Rivier currently has three women’s varsity teams: volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter and softball in the spring. All are popular, and students expressed concern that they would be limited with men coming on campus. Merrill has assured that won’t happen.

‘ “That’s one direction we definitely wouldn’t go,’ he said.”

Evan Beals had two hits and Kyle Boulanger added a two-run single in the sixth to add to the lead.

“Tyler Lizotte picked up the win giving up no hits in 1-1/3 innings of relief.”
