Seventh–ranked Valdosta State University put a stop to the Lady Sea Warrior’s 13-game winning streak by splitting a non-conference doubleheader at Kailua High School on March 11.
The Lady Sea Warriors beat the Lady Blazers, 8-3, but Valdosta State bounced back to shutout HPU, 0-3, in the nightcap.

However, while the Lady Blazers ended HPU’s 13-game winning streak, the Lady Sea Warriors remain unbeaten in the PacWest conference with a 6-0 record.

HPU trailed for most of the first game 3-1, but rallied in the sixth inning with seven runs, four of which were from VSU errors. Kara Wedemeyer went 2-3 for the Lady Sea Warriors with one run scored.

In the nightcap, both teams remained scoreless until the fifth inning, when VSU’s Robin Williams hit a homerun over center field. The Lady Blazers scored the final two runs in the sixth inning from an HPU error and a double by Amy Gaiss to right field.

HPU pitcher Sherise Musquiz suffered her first loss of the season, while VSU pitcher Brianna Collis pitched a complete game three-hit shutout.
