Game One

• Starting pitcher Little immediate made her presence known on the mound, sitting down three Bison in a row. It wasn't until the fourth inning that the Bison were able to get on the board, 2-0 before the Scots retaliated in the home half of the inning with five runs off of five hits including back to back doubles from Ami Rivera and Jayden Johnson to take the 5-2 advantage. 
• Nichols was able to shrink their deficit to two in the next frame (5-3) before the Scots passed the bat in the box, as Abby Murray and Emily Graham strung two singles together to score three Scots and bring the score to 8-3. Next, Isabella Rivera was able to tack on another run for her squad after ripping one deep in the five-six hole to bring home Murray to head into the sixth, 9-3. 
• The Bison were able to get a runner on in the sixth but Little kept her opponents at bay, forcing two ground outs to second before closing out the top of the sixth with a line-out to second.

Game Two

• The Bison wasted no time as they took advantage of their first at bats, scoring four runs off of two homers (4-0).
