JOPLIN, Mo. – Northeastern State saw their season come to an end on Monday with a sweep by Missouri Southern.Â
The Lions took the opener 6-0 and won 3-1 in the nightcap as the RiverHawks dropped their final six games of the regular season to miss the MIAA Tournament.

In the nightcap, the RiverHawks matched MSSU in the hit column with seven but they plated only one run in the sixth.Â
Kelsey Harmon had a RBI single after a
Haley Acrey double to make the score 2-1 but MSSU extended their lead by a run in the bottom half of the inning on an error. Â Â
Taryn Gray (5-10) went 5 2/3 innings with
Mollie Carter recording the final out on her final game.
Harmon had a perfect day at the plate going 3-for-3 and Acrey went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
