How it started: In the circle for game One was #12 Josie Krieman
In a tight pitcher's duel,Ā Rosemont was able to beat Notre Dame MarylandĀ 1-0 thanks to a standout performance fromĀ J. Krieman, who tossed a complete-game shutout. Krieman allowed only 3 hits and didn't issue a single walk while striking out five, keeping the Gators' bats silent through all seven innings.
The game's only run came in the top of the fifth.Ā K. StrohlĀ bunted for a single and came around to score on aĀ double by A. Gotts, who was tagged out trying to stretch it into a triple. That lone run proved to be the difference.

Game Two: #7 Alicia Gotts was on the mound pitching all 6 inningsĀ
The Gators bounced back in the nightcap, riding a big sixth inning to claim aĀ 4-2 victoryĀ and a split of the doubleheader.Ā A. HafnerĀ led the charge, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a game-changingĀ 2-RBI doubleĀ in the bottom of the sixth that broke a 2-2 tie.
