UMD exploded for five runs in the opening frame. Hannah Schmoll walked and stole second to begin the rally. Becky Smith moved her to third with a base hit. Kalynn Tilton was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Lauren Oberle was then hit by a pitch to drive in Schmoll with the first run of the game. Sami Sadler plated Smith with her RBI single. Ashley Taipale was hit by another pitch to drive in Tilton. Hannah Bloch made it a five-run first and drove in both Sadler and Oberle with a single.
The Huskies answered with a run in the second inning. Sophomore Morgan Emmans had a lead-off single and moved to third on a double from Alyssa Coletto. Freshman Anna Roth followed with a single to center to score Emmans.
The Bulldogs added a run to the lead in the fifth inning on Oberle's 10th home run of the season.
