      Good defensive plays were made by Kelly McLaughlin who caught a long fly ball to center for the second out in the 4th; by Abby McDonald who took charge on a bunt up the first base line and threw the batter out to end the 4th; by Alexa Ostrander who short hopped a grounder to short and threw the batter out to end the 5th; by Abby McDonald who pounced on a bunt on the third base line and threw the batter out for the second out in the 6th; and by Alexa Ostrander who with a runner on first fielded a grounder and threw to Haley Dusek covering second to end the game.

      Courtney Schwan started and again went the distance for the win.  She struck out 10 including the side in order in the first.  She gave up only 4 hits.  She had 4 assists herself in fielding her position.  The one run she gave up was unearned.
