HOW IT HAPPENED
Game 1

• Freshman Danielle Rocheleau followed up later in the frame, lacing a two-run single up the middle, scoring Sencer and sophomore Jillian Fenton to give the Hawks a 3-0 lead.
• UAlbany tied the game up with one swing of the bat, loading the bases with one out in the fifth and setting up Kelly Spear for a bases-clearing double to right.
• The Great Danes took the lead off a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and take the 4-3 decision.
