The Lady Govs (1-12) took advantage of three Indiana errors and two walks in the second inning to get out to a 5-0 lead, with Rikki Arkansas picking up a RBI on a bases-loaded walk and Chandler Groves driving in a run with a sacrifice fly.

But Indiana (4-16) answered with five runs of their own in the bottom of the inning – highlighted by a three-run homer by Mena Fulton.
