The Hens made the score 3-1 in the fifth when Carolyn Wasilewski scored on an error by the pitcher. Lafayette closed the gap to 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth on a RBI single by Jana Defillipps. Lafayette tied the game in the seventh on an Ali Berlin single. Krysta Pidstawski picked up her 14th win of the season while Lafayette's Erin Hall took the loss.
