Game One

• A two-out rally led by a two-RBI single from Raelle Gorman put the Setters on top of New Haven 3-0 after the opening inning. Leading by three runs, Garcia walked back into the circle and cruised through the visitors' lineup through the remainder of the contest, allowing only one runner to reach base on a walk.

• The Setters escaped the top of the fifth after New Haven had two runners in scoring position with one out, keeping the game at 1-0. Answering back after the close call defensively, the Setters took control in the bottom of the fifth.
• An eventful inning for Pace led to six runs scored, five hits, and one error as the home squad's lead stretched to 7-0 before the start of the seventh inning. RBIs from Gorman, Riley Jenkins, and Alexa Borino made the difference in the game-changing inning.
