  • Despite a lead off single and stolen base from Turner, GU could not bring in the runner in scoring position, leaving the score at 2-0.
  • After a scoreless second inning from both sides, DePaul extending its lead in the third. The Blue Demons would hit a pair of home runs to plate three runs and grow the lead to 5-0.
  • Both sides would be held scoreless in the fourth inning in order.

  • After a scoreless bottom of the first and top of the second, the Hoyas threatened in the bottom of the second.

  • In the seventh, Dunn got the Blue Demons out in order including her third strikeout of the game.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, Rebhan would single up the middle on the first pitch of the inning, putting the tying run at the plate with no one out. Georgetown would then be retired in order, ending game two with a final score of 4-2.
