The Rambelles would score the only run they needed in the bottom of the first. Greenwell, who ended the weekend with a team leading .579 batting average, singled and would score on a single to left field by Dunn for a 1-0 advantage.

The NWOSU duo of Shelby Anderson and Allora Miller slowed the ASU bats down until the fifth. Ciara Sheppard hit a ground-rule double to center field and Ambra Hill used her speed to reach on a single. Koria scored pinch runner Kelly Johnson on a fielder's choice. Koria would get caught in a run down to score Hill and made it all the way to third on an error by the Rangers. Dunn made it 4-0 with a RBI double to right field.

The fifth and final run came on a triple by Greenwell to plate Granado from second base in the sixth.
