In the opener, Nicole Hoskins had two hits, including a double, and Nicole Wenner and Gina Urbon added two hits

Trailing 1-0, the Cougars scored three times in the top of the fifth and added four more in the seventh.

Hoskins led off the fifth with a double and pinch-runner Jen Cory moved to third on Jillian Castaldi's bunt.
Courtney Novajosky tied the score on a sacrice fly and Maria Kidron reached on a two-out single.

Kidron went to third on Caitlin Cromley's single and Cromley stole second. Both runners scored when Wenner reached on an error to give MU a 3-1 lead.

Novajosky led off the seventh with a single and moved to second on a passed ball. She eventually scored on a double-steal and the Cougars added three more runs thanks in part to four FDU errors.

In the third, Sarnak ripped a one-out double and came around on a passed ball and wild pitch.
