Alex Rowell and Alexus Martinez's RBI singles made it 2-0 in favor of the Warriors by the end of the second inning.

In the fourth, a throwing error from CSUSM starter Amanda Horbasch (3-6) allowed runners to take first and third before a double-steal made it 3-0.

Caylyn Rodriguez's RBI single pulled the Cougars within 3-1 in the top of the fourth.

Alvara doubled to center with one out in the top of the sixth, but Kylie Ragsdale (5-5) was able to retire Horbasch and Brogan Hoenisch to get out of the frame.

The Warriors added another in the bottom half due to a fielding error by CSUSM shortstop Melyssa Bellamy.

Ybarra doubled to lead off the seventh, but once again the Cougars were unable to make anything out of it.

Game 2
Alvara's RBI double in the top of the first inning handed the Cougars a 1-0 lead, but CSUSM was able to only muster a single hit and two more base runners the rest of the way off Stan St.'s Karina Collazo (1-0) in a 4-1 loss.
