Offensively, the Gaels were only able to scratch out two hits and three walks against Pacific starter Gabby McDaniel, who moved to 3-4 on the year. Sophomore P Sarah Jackson took the loss for Iona.

In game two, Pacific had another early scoring outburst which the Gaels were unable to come back from, scoring six runs in the second inning aided by an Iona error to start the inning. The Tigers added another run in the fifth to reach the 7-0 final.
