FORY MYERS, Fla., - South Dakota State ran into a tough Florida Gulf Coast team again on Sunday in the Jackrabbits final game at the FGCU Spring Break Invitational in Fort Myers, Fla., falling to the host Eagles 11-0.
The loss drops the Jacks to 4-5 on the season, heading into the Tiger Invitational next weekend in Columbia, Mo., when the Jacks play two against the host Missouri Tigers and two against Boston University.
Greta Stroh went 2-for-2 in the game, while Brittany Postma and Ashley Durazo also tallied hits for the Jacks.
Trailing by one after one and a half innings, Postma hit a two-out triple in the bottom of the second, but the Jacks could not capitalize, and the score remained 1-0 FGCU after two complete.
That changed quickly in the top of the third, when the Eagles plated five runs to take a commanding 6-0 lead.
They added five more runs over the next two innings to secure the win and remain undefeated in the tournament.
FGCU finished its three-day tournament with a perfect 7-0 record, outscoring its opponents 48-4, including five shutouts.
The Jackrabbits return to action on Friday and Saturday for games against Missouri and Boston University.
The Jacks play the Tigers on both days and 1 p.m., and the Terriers on both days at 5:30 p.m.
