FDU-Florham (13-9, 7-3 MAC Freedom) jumped out early scoring all 13 of its runs in the first three innings to earn the game one win.  DSU (4-21, 1-9 MAC Freedom) scored once in the second inning on a solo home run from sophomore Andrea Artesani.
 
Freshman Madeleine Nasir had two of DSU's five hits in the loss and Artesani suffered the loss in the circle.
 
Game Two (L/8-11)
Freshman Leann Panconi gave DSU a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a solo home run but the Devils answered with six runs in the first inning and never looked back from there.
 
The Bulldogs cut the margin down to 8-5 in the top of the fourth inning with four runs including a three-run home run from senior Samantha Gibson but FDU answered with three runs of its own before DSU put three more on the board in the seventh on Panconi's second dinger of the game, a three run shot to center field.
 
Panconi finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBIs.  Nasir and sophomore Haley Frati also had two hits and Gibson knocked in three runs.  Panconi took the loss in the circle.
