Game 1 (CSUSM 11- Concordia-Chicaco 1)

Concordia would get one back in the bottom half of the inning when first baseman Clarissa Gieseke hit a homerun that just cleared the center field fence to pull within a run. That was all CSUSM starting pitcher Cortney Allen would allow for the day though, pitching a complete came and allowing just 4 hits.
