Game 1The host Panthers had a two-out double in the bottom of the first followed by a two-run home run to center field by Allie Hinton.
The Warriors managed just three hits in the contest. Senior
Logan White (Brantford, Ont. / Johnson C.V.I.) had a one-out single in the fourth, sophomore shortstop

Emily Bryce (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester Adams) had a one-out single in the seventh.
ODU added an insurance run in the fifth on back-to-back two-out singles and a Warrior fielding error leading to an unearned run.
WSU starter
Briana Lee (Canton, Mich. / Salem) suffered her first loss of the season (11-1) allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.

Game 2Ohio Dominican's Taylor Thomas hit a two-out first inning home run off WSU starter
Mackenzie Boehler (Saginaw, Mich. / Swan Valley) and that would be all that Stanzel (8-11) would need.
