Towson knotted the game at 1-1 with back-to-back doubles from Ashley Stiner and Meghan Zwoyer. The Tigers would then take a 3-1 lead after scoring two runs in the third.
With runners on first and second, junior Katharine Lang (Princeton Jct., N.J./The Lawrenceville School) reached second on an error by Stiner and freshman Suria Bahadue (Miami, Fla./Monsignor Edward Pace) crossed the plate for the second GU run of the game, cutting the deficit to one.
The Tigers added one run in the fourth and two more in the fifth inning to take a 6-2 lead.
