The Eagles' Shea Graham got a two-run homer in the fifth, finishing 1-for-2 in the game, but Regis' Nicole Hull pitched a complete game with Graham's and Zoe Humphries' homers giving CSC its only runs.

Later, Graham homered twice, driving in five runs in four at-bats. Humphries and Aspen Eubanks each batted 3-for-4, with Eubanks plating Humphries for the winning run. Pitcher Tayler Hall came in during the third inning, with no outs, to pitch five full innings of shutout ball, earning the win. Courtney Lecher and Katelyn Kruger also contributed with RBI.
