HAMMOND, La.—Skylar Arellano roped a three-run double and the Coyotes put the tying runs on in the bottom of the seventh, but couldn't complete the comeback against Nicholls. The Colonels got two hits from shortstop Ashlyn Reavis including an RBI triple and won 6-4 on the final day of a tournament hosted by Southeastern Louisiana.

Arellano totaled two hits and Lauren Wobken was 3-for-4 with an RBI. It was Wobken's second three-hit game of the tournament. She and Lauren Eamiguel had back-to-back hits with one out in the final frame, but were stranded.
 
Alexis LaBure tossed five innings in relief of starter Taryn Westbrook and earned the win for the Colonels (3-0). LaBure allowed four hits and struck out two.
 
Wobken had a team-high eight hits during the six games in Louisiana and hit .381 with a team-high five RBIs.
