  • The Hoyas responded in the fifth with Savannah Jones' single to left allowing Sophia Scarangella to round third and cross home making it 7-3.
  • With Smith back up to bat in the fifth, she drilled her second home run of the night for a two-RBI hit closing the score to 7-5.
  • The Colonials had the bases loaded in the seventh and were able to advance the runner home off a groundout (8-5).
  • Georgetown was not finished yet as Jones capitalized on a throwing error by GW to add another run to the scoreboard 8-6.
