Lindsey Perry (Taylor, Mich./Kennedy) reached on an error leading off the second and scored on a Jordan Sinclair (Chatham, Ont./Chatham Kent S.S.) sacrifice fly. After an out, Lisa Seymour (Davison, Mich.) walked and scored when Laura Guzman (Royal Oak, Mich./Bishop Foley) reached on an error. Becky Quinn (Ortonville, Mich./Oakland Christian) followed with an RBI triple.
In the top of the third, Robyn Haig (Waterloo, Ont./Waterloo C.I.), Sarah Berry (Acton, Ont.), Perry and Sinclair accounted for four consecutive singles and a 5-0 WSU lead.
