No. 25 St. Cloud State Softball Falls to Augustana in First-Ever NSIC Tournament Championship Appearance
5/9/2026 6:10:00 PM | Softball
Huskies 13-game win streak snapped in 6-1 championship loss
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – No. 25 St. Cloud State Softball (46-13, 26-4 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) fell to Augustana (30-26, 19-11 NSIC) in its first-ever appearance in the NSIC Tournament Championship on Saturday afternoon at Bowden Field (Augustana) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The No. 2 seed Huskies dropped its first game since April 19 to the fifth seeded Vikings, snapping a 13-game win streak which was tied for the second longest win streak in program history.
Augie scored one run in each of the first three innings with a pair of RBI-singles and a solo home run to take a 3-0 lead. After the solo shot to open the third, the Vikings hit a single and reached on an error, but SCSU got both runners out at the plate in the ensuing at-bat with a unique double play.
The Huskies' first hit was a solo home run from sophomore catcher/infielder Morgan Honeycutt (Rosemount, Minn.) in the home half of the fourth to cut its deficit to two.
The Vikings added two runs in the fifth and one more in the seventh to make the final score, 6-1.
Junior outfielder Bree Beck (Lakeville, Minn.), senior pitcher Macey Clark (Winneconne, Wis.) and redshirt sophomore utility Kaylee Collins (Lakeville, Minn.) were all named to the NSIC All-Tournament Team.
