Eastern New Mexico (10-31, 2-10 LSC South) made a late-game charge, scoring six runs in the top of the fifth, but it wasn't enough as the 'Belles would run-rule the Zias, 15-7, in five innings.

In game two, Angelo State would outlast the Zias, 7-2, to secure the series sweep, and improved to 32-6 in the all-time series. In the bottom of the first, Dean found the left-center gap for her third double of the day that plated two. She would eventually come around and score, giving ASU a 3-1 lead after one.

Angelo State continued to hammer the ball, as Elsa Apo and Tafiti hit back-to-back jacks in the third inning. The 'Belles would tack on two more runs in the fourth to secure a 7-2 victory.
