Lewis' Lauren Hanford Named To Desert Stinger All-Tournament Softball First Team

Lewis University junior right fielder Lauren Hanford came out of the chutes blazing, as the Morris native was named to the MSU-Billings/Desert Stinger All-Tournament First Team, after battling .500 (5-for-10) with four RBI to lead the Flyers to two wins in the opening weekend of softball action. 

Hanford's best performance came against Cal Baptist in the season-opener, as she went 2-for-2, including a bases-loaded triple, in the 5-3 loss.

Lewis (2-3) returns to action in one week, as the Flyers head to St. Cloud, Minnesota, to participate in the Husky Dome Classic, hosted by St. Cloud State, from Feb. 24-26. Lewis opens tournament action against Jamestown (N.D.) at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24
