RICHLAND, Wash-  The Sonoma State softball team closed out play at the CWU Invitational in Richland, Washington on Sunday with a 4-1 loss to Western Washington.  The defeat leaves the Seawolves with an 8-9 overall record after going 3-4 at the tournament.  The Vikings improve to 9-4.

SSU got on the board first when, in the first innings, Shyrle Hawes led off with a single and came around to score.  That would be the only run of the game for the Seawolves, though, as Jessica Rosencrants shut the door with a complete game five-hitter. 

Western scored once in the third and three more times in the sixth against Seawolf starter Simone Brandalise.

The Seawolves return to CCAA play next weekend at UC San Diego.
