The Cougars made it 3-0 in the second when Ballard reached on an error and advanced to third on Gina Urbon's single down the rightfield line.

After Urbon stole second, Kristi McCluskey drove in Ballard with a single to left and moved to second when Urbon was thrown out at home. McCluskey went to third on a ground out and scored on Sarnak's single.

Albright scored both of its runs in the top of the third.

In the nightcap, Maria Kidron, Wenner, Cromley and Nikki Boccia all had two hits.
