The Friars added to their lead in the third inning with three more runs, as sophomore Shannon Garvin (Fresno, Calif.) capped off the inning with a two-run double. In the sixth-inning, the Friars completed the scoring when Rachel Bartholomew (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) hit an RBI double to score junior Nikki Hull (Portland, Ore.). Rachel Bartholomew and Garvin finished with two hits and two RBIs, while Romero had three hits and one RBI.

In the nightcap, College of Charleston pitcher Rachael Stern held the Friars to two hits as the Cougars defeated the Friars, 5-0. Stern pitched all seven innings and struck out two batters.
