Providence moved to 1-10 on the season. The Friars' first win of the season was highlighted by a three-run RBI by Emma Douma (Midland Park, N.J.) in the sixth followed by a grand slam from sophomore Cameron Dunn (Bothell, Wash.) in the seventh. Dunn's grand slam marked the first of her collegiate career.
