Stevens 7, Houghton 2
 
After both teams traded zeroes through the first two innings, Stevens broke through with three in the third. Senior Danielle DeFeo and sophomore Gavriella Risman-Jones hit back-to-back singles to lead off, and scored off freshman Emily Sellitti's triple. Junior Jamie DeGennaro followed with a single to score Sellitti, giving Stevens a 3-0 lead.
 
Junior pitcher Brianna Sandone worked around a lead-off single in the bottom of the third, allowing the Ducks to add to their lead in the fourth with a two-out double from DeGennaro to score Sellitti.
 
Houghton came-back with one run in the fourth when sophomore Ashley Schenk singled home junior Morgan York, but Stevens answered with three in the sixth. Risman-Jones singled to lead-off the inning, and later scored off Sellitti's sacrifice fly. Then after DeGennaro singled, sophomore Sydney Spitz ripped an RBI triple, then scored off an error at short.
 
Sandone pitched a scoreless sixth and gave up one in the seventh, but the runs were plenty as the junior hurler stranded six runners en-route to her eighth win of the year.  
 
Sellitti led the team offensively with three RBIs off two hits, while DeGennaro and Spitz also contributed three hits each. Risman-Jones tied Sellitti with a game-high two runs scored.  
 
Stevens 12, Houghton 1
 
The Ducks started their bats early with DeFeo and Sellitti singling to start the game. After DeGennaro moved both runners up with a groundout, freshman Jessica Rees hit a sacrifice fly to score DeFeo. Spitz followed suit with a single before junior Noelle Mulligan drove-in two with a double to give Stevens an early 3-0 lead.
 
Houghton came back with one run in their half of the inning when junior Sarah Beirne grounded-out to score freshman Bailey Shattell, but it would be all the Highlanders would be able to muster off junior Meagan Lorenz.
 
Lorenz retired the side in order in the second before freshman Kelly Klewicki singled home two in the third to extend the lead to five. Lorenz came right back with a one-two-three inning in the third, allowing Stevens to break the game open in the fourth.
 
With the bases loaded and no-outs, DeGennaro smacked a double to score all three runners, then moved to third and later scored off a wild-pitch.
 
Carrying a 9-1 lead into the fifth, the Ducks put the game away with three more runs. Sellitti started the scoring with an RBI double to score freshman Gina Schnecker, and DeGennaro followed with an RBI single to score Sellitti and DeFeo.
 
Lorenz worked around a leadoff walk in the fifth with three straight ground-outs to earn the first win of her career in a five-inning, complete game one-hitter. DeGennaro's five RBIs were a season-high for the catcher, while the two RBIs for Mulligan were also a season-high.
