Weber finished 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored as the Lady Hornets erupted for 12 hits. Freshman right fielder Meadow Lungstrum was 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and scored twice, while sophomore second baseman Emma Abbott went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored.

Sophomore starter Kendalyn Roesner finished 2-for-3 with an RBI. Roesner threw a five-hitter in going the distance for the victory, giving up four earned runs, striking out six and walking five.
