Sophomore Carli Shaw plated the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth with a bunt, before freshman Alexandra Cosenzo launched a three-run homer for a 6-2 lead.

Junior Victoria Greco went 2 for 4 with a run, while classmate Devan Puhl was 2 for 3. Senior righty Stephanie Caudle allowed two runs on four hits in 5.0 innings and took a no-decision.

Stockton junior Hannah Bibeault earned the win in the circle, throwing the final 2.0 innings. She allowed two unearned runs on one hit.
