BATON ROUGE - No. 19 LSU softball closed out the Purple & Gold Challenge with a 1-0 win over Howard Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers scored their only run off of a Tori Edwards RBI single in the bottom of the first inning. Their defense was enough to hold the Bison to just one hit and zero runs. 

LSU improves to 12-4 on the season. They are set to host McNeese on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Tiger Park.
