Regis starting pitcher Nikki Haberkorn (0-3) took the loss for the Rangers, allowing nine runs, seven unearned, while surrendering 11 hits on the afternoon.
Lewis returns to action in two weeks, as they head to St. Cloud, Minn., to participate in the Husky Dome Classic. Their first contest is a 7 p.m. (CST) showdown against Jamestown (N.D.) on February 24th.
