Fordham scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning, adding one run in the third inning and one in the fourth for a 5-0 lead. The Knights scored in the top of the sixth inning to get on the board, but it wasn't enough as FDU fell, 5-1. Kirsten Shreve (Kent, WA/Kentwood) started the Knights' offense with a double to center field to lead off the inning. Kristen Kinneer (Pottstown, PA/St. Peter's) drew a walk, Caitlin Bradac (Garden Grove, CA/Garden Grove) walked and Alex Schubert's sacrifice fly to center field pushed Shreve across the plate.

The Knights scored one earned run on five hits.
