The Cavaliers got an early run as Cabrini's first three batters reached on walks.  Freshman Rebecca Miles was inches away from clearing the bases but Neumann's centerfielder make a snow cone catch, robbing Miles of the grand slam.  Senior leadoff hitter Sammy Thompson scored on the fly ball, for an early lead.

The Blue and White added an unearned run in the third inning as junior Lindsey Atzert scored on senior Angela Shookster's ground ball through the shortstop's legs. 

Neumann tied the score with a pair of runs in the fifth, then plated the game winner in the top of the seventh inning.

The Knights reclaimed the lead in the second with three runs on two hits.  Cabrini got one back in their half of the second when McDonough knocked in junior Taylor McGarvey.
