In game one, freshman Makenzie Lein (Petersburg, MI/Ida) pitched in two separate stints and totaled seven innings in the losing effort. At the plate, Lein, pictured right, was 3-for-4 with her first career homerun. Junior catcher Ianna Wasser (Warwick, RI/Toll Gate) and classmate Kaeleen Boden (Strongsville, OH/Holy Name) each homered, while junior Lauren Wolz (Ashburn, VA/Stone Bridge) was 2-for-4 with a double.

In game two, Case rallied with runs in the sixth and seventh to tie the score at 11. Both teams went scoreless in the eighth before the Spartans scored four in the ninth. Freshman Katherine Seo (Salt Lake City, UT/Olympus) got the win on the mound and was 2-for-5 at the plate.
