Eckerd and Rollins squared off in a pitcher dual through the first five innings. The team combined for just two hits during the span with the game remaining scoreless. However, Grace Germer led off the sixth with a solo homerun to break the stalemate for RC.

Lauren Margolis reached second on an error in the seventh, but the Tritons were unable to push her across.
