Bentonville, Ark. -Softball travels to Bentonville to play a four match tournament hosted by the University of Arkansas at Monticello on Friday and Saturday. Even though they're the host team, the tournament won't be played on their campus.

The Jets come back to action with a two win streak and 9 runs scored in the last inning played. 

Junior Hayley Bonython leads the team with a .556 hitting average, seven RBIs, and one home run. Anissa Ramos had a great first series recording a .400 hitting average and two RBIs. Senior pitcher, Jackie Gold, comes back with a .205 ERA, and with one run allowed and a win in the last game played.
