Bridgeport, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport softball team moved to 6-0 in the East Coast Conference 19-3 overall with a Monday afternoon sweep over the visiting Molloy College Lions, as UB won game one, 2-1, and completed the sweep with a 7-2 victory in the nightcap.  Molloy is now 10-17 overall and 1-3 in the ECC.

Junior Ashley Eisnor (Medford, Mass.) worked five innings in the pitching circle to earn her fifth win of the year.  Sophomore Miranda Hillman (Placentia, Calif.) finished off game two with two scoreless innings of relief.
