In a back-and-forth contest against a tough America East school, the Seahawks erupted for two runs in the first inning, thanks to a Bott double which scored Parker and followed by a Laura Petri (Warminster, PA/William Tennent) single to left center, scoring Bott to give the Seahawks a 2-0 lead.

The Hawks took over the lead in the top of the second as they sparked a three-run inning when Jackie Kelly singled in Danielle DeMarco for the first run of the game for Hartford. Kelly would cross the plate on a wild-pitch. Elizabeth Newkirk reached on a fielder's choice which scored Margaret Betz.

Wagner tied the game in the bottom half of the second at three as sophomore Aerika High (Manheim, PA/Manheim Central) smashed a homerun to right center field. The Hawks answered in the top of the third and the fifth as they scored three runs to take a 6-3 lead.

The Seahawks responded in the bottom of the fifth with an six-run output. Senior Beth Lewis (Ashburn, VA/Stone Bridge) kicked off the inning with a single to right, plating Gilbert. High, who finished the game 2-for-4, laced a single to left center, scoring Lewis. Parker would connect on her second hit of the contest, driving a single to center, scoring High and Brianna Tredway (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown West). Sophomore Taylor Beeson (Mesa, AZ/Red Mountain) plated the eighth and ninth run of the game for Wagner with a RBI-double to right field.
