LHU was able to get on the scoreboard first in the fifth inning off the bat of Alyssa Smith (Barrington, N.H./St. Thomas Aquinas), who doubled home the game's first run.  Smith went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs in the game.

Nicole Smith (Milton Pa./Milton) smacked her 14th homerun of the season in the sixth inning, a solo shot to left field.  She finished the game 2-for-3.

LHU took game two, 5-2.

The Lady Eagles scored their five runs on seven hits in the game.

Nicole Smith and Bridgette Clarke (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia) led The Haven at the plate as they each had two hits.

Smith went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored and Clarke went 2-for-4 with a run.
