The Rambelles were able to gain a run in the first without recording a hit. A walk and wild pitch placed a runner on second and was followed by a TWU throwing error. Another walk loaded the bases before Katie Hickey struck out a Rambelle for out number two, but the next batter was hit by a pitch to score a run.
 
Alexis Elizondo notched the first TWU hit in the top of the second by outrunning the throw to first but was caught stealing second for the third out. A pair of sacrifice bunts by ASU resulted in a score, and a double to left field let in another runner for a 3-0 Rambelle advantage. Back-to-back singles by ASU in the fourth led to a 4-0 lead.
 
Tara Solomon drew a walk in the top of the sixth, and a sacrifice bunt by Nicole Parnell pushed her to second, but consecutive fly outs ended the inning. In the bottom half, a Pioneer error and wild pitch placed the runner on third before the TWU defense turned a double play to strand the runner.
 
With one out recorded in the top of the seventh, Hazel Puempel sent a hot shot off the third baseman's glove for a base hit but was caught out at second as Tylia Sylestine made her way to first. An ASU infielder grabbed a foul ball for the third out to end the game.
 
Hickey (0-1) suffered the loss with two earned runs on three hits, four walks and a strikeout.
