The Lady Cardinals scored single runs in both the bottom of the first and second innings to claim a quick 2-0 lead.  Abby Sargent singled in the first and after stealing second base, scored the first run on an Alivia Nieburg single.  Maturino's first hit of the day leading off the second led to the second run as scored on two out hit from Karsyn Cahoon.
