Emily Wiemken's double to the outfield was able to plate Alex Sasso and Dawson to give the fans a tied game. An error made by Webber's third baseman was able to bring home Wiemken to give the Tritons a one run advantage.
Eckerd continued to add on to their score in both the fourth and fifth innings. Sasso connected with her first home run of the season against Webber pitcher Kristen Stewart in the top of the fourth.
