Southern New Hampshire took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first on an RBI groundout by sophomore Lindsey Bolduc that scored Mo Hannan for the first run of the game. Junior pitcher Ali Maloof kept the Hounds hitless until the bottom of the fourth as the Penmen looked for the regular-season series sweep. After a three-hit, two-run inning in the third, Southern New Hampshire put the game out of reach with a six-run fourth inning for the 9-0 lead. Tesia Stanesek drove in two with a triple to right center, along with a three-run homer to left by Bolduc.

Assumption got one back in the bottom of the frame as an RBI double to left by junior Ashley Impagliazzo (Glocester, R.I./LaSalle Academy) scored junior Jess DiPilato (Worcester, Mass./Holy Name) from first for the 9-1 margin.
