BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Southern Nazarene's season came to a close as sixth-seeded Henderson State knocked off SNU 2-1 in the loser's bracket of the GAC Championships.
 
As expected, it was a pitcher's duel as GAC's strikeout leader, Kayla Wyatt, and the 2015 GAC Pitcher of the Year Michelle Sorensen battled it out in the circle.
 
Wyatt went the distance as she struck out six and gave up just two runs, one earned, but Sorensen gave up just one run on three hits in the complete-game. Wyatt did become the first pitcher in GAC history to record 300 strikeouts in a season with her first strikeout. She also finishes as the only pitcher in GAC history with 700 or more strikeouts.
 
The Reddies took a 2-0 lead with one in the third and the fourth before the Storm got on the board in the top of the fifth when Hannah LeBeau ripped a single up the middle to score Hope Martin to cut it to 2-1. Sam Smith and Martin had the other two hits for the Storm as Wyatt, Jill Clemence, Jessica Thompson and Kylee Webb all played their last games for SNU.
 
It was the second straight year the Storm reached the second day of the GAC Championships, but fell in the first game of the day.
