Humboldt State women’s softball team is currently on a seven game winning streak after a sweep at the Tournament of Champions. Friday the Lumberjacks defeated Chaminade University (5-3). In the first inning HSU earned four runs on their first five hits. The game proceeded and HSU did not allow the women to pull ahead after that. After five innings the game finished with a HSU win.

On the second day of the tournament the Lumberjacks continued on their path towards victory. In their first game the Lumberjacks defeated Hawaii Pacific in eight innings with a (2-0) win. This long game did not prevent them from earning another win against Dominican University of California. The women defeated Dominican with a victory (10-2) in 5 innings. On the final day of the tournament the women continued to fire through two more wins. The Lady Jacks defeated Montana State (6-3). With the last (6-1) win against Western Washington the ladies were crowned with the Tournament of Champions title for the second straight year. The Jacks will compete against Cal State Dominguez Hills on Thursday and Friday at Lumberjack Field.
