The win marked the fourth win out of five games for the Skyhawks, who will head to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament on May 6-7 at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri.

Friday was the final home game for senior Carpenter, DiCecco, Katlyne Duffey, Mac Harper, Sarah McMahon, Natalie Mitchell, Carly Smoke and Jam Vertner.

Fort Lewis College (8-5, 4-3 RMAC) received the No. 4 seed to open the first round of the RMAC Tournament.
