In game one, the Seahawks struck first in the top of the second inning. With freshman Emma Rocha on first and sophomore Lea Rachal on third, sophomore Leilani Gonzales singled to drive in Rachal. Rocha advanced to third but was out at home, and the unearned run gave the Seahawks a 1-0 lead.

In the top of the third inning, with freshman Alayna Giampolo on second, junior Payton Janicki doubled to center field, driving in Giampolo and extending the Seahawks lead to 2-0.
However, the Knights responded in the bottom of the sixth, scoring three runs to take the lead. Wagner had an opportunity to regain the lead in the top of the seventh, but was unable to capitalize, losing 3-2.

On the mound, junior Natalie Rodriguez pitched five strong innings, allowing only one run on three hits, two walks, and striking out six batters. Sophomore Karson Zavala relieved Rodriguez and pitched one inning, giving up two runs on two hits while striking out three.

In the top of the seventh, the Seahawks made their final push. Rachal singled to center field, advancing to second on the throw, and drove in two RBI as freshman Kiera Armato and Janicki scored, putting Wagner ahead 6-4.
