- The Edgewood College bats slowed in the nightcap, as the Eagles struggled to figure out the Stars pitcher Cat Klostermann who went the distance and struck out six.

- Once again, Dominican got on top in the first inning, scoring one run on a RBI groundout. The Stars would add one run in the second inning and three more runs in the fourth inning. Just as it looked like the Stars bats couldn't be stopped, the Eagles managed to end the fourth inning with a quick double play from Dunbar and Salm.

- The Edgewood College run came on an RBI single from Grace Delleman, through the left side of the Stars infield, scoring Laurissa Belott in the sixth frame.
