The Pumas plated a single run in the top of the fifth, but Samantha Krcelich answered back in the bottom of the inning with a no-doubt solo home run over the left center fence to put the score at 7-1 UIndy.

Saint Joseph's put up another pair in the top of the sixth, on four hits. UIndy plated three more runs in the bottom half of the inning, with Dakota Malayer, DeMotte and Williamson all scoring on a bases-clearing double to the leftcenter fence by Krcelich.
