The Northeast-10 opened its softball tournament play on Tuesday with a pair of thrillers. Top-seeded Southern Connecticut survived a scare from Stonehill winning 4-3 in 10 innings. Jessica Rosa (pictured) had the game-winning hit for the Owls.

New Haven rallied from a 4-1 deficit to defeat No. 2 seed Adelphi 5-4 in its first-round game. The first round of the tourney is a single-elimination format. After that it becomes a double-elimination tournament.
