Sophomore Emily Isla notched both of Malone's hits in game one against Tiffin starter Taylor Spang. Junior Jillian Coyle received the loss, throwing six inning of seven-hit ball. Only four of her six runs given up were earned.
 
Madison Yanek followed Spang's lead in game two, also limiting the Pioneers to just two hits. Junior Stephanie Byrne connected on a double and sophomore Katie Snoddy added a single in the losing effort.
