Sauer was 2-for-3 with a RBI and two runs scored while Jacey Kames was 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Fellers had the only other RBI while Kai Sanchez and Kaley Knox each had a hit and a run scored.

In game two, it was a similar start as Henderson, again, jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top half of the first, but SNU, again, responded as Sauer ripped a double to center to even the game at one while Skye Ah Yat followed that up with a double of her own to make it a 2-1 game.

SNU put the game out of reach in the second inning as they put a seven spot on the board. James led off the inning with a hit by pitch while Feller followed with a double to right center. Robinson would drive one in followed by a walk to Sauer to load the bases.
