How it Happened

Coppin was the first team to put up a serious threat as they put a pair of runners on base in the second. Soraya Valdez-Frick led off with a single and got to third on a sac bunt by Cloe Ochoa. Ochoa then stole second base to put two runners in scoring position with no outs but the Eagles could not capitalize.
Valdez-Frick also reached third base in the fourth inning after leading off with a single and getting to the other corner on a passed ball and a groundout.
Madison Didion faced the minimum in both the second and third innings and escaped a jam unscathed in the fourth to keep it scoreless.
Neither team posted much offense in the fifth, but NC Central scored a pair of runs in the sixth to take a 2-0 lead. NCCU scored thanks to a walk and two infield singles to load the bases, and then a bloop single to left which was misplayed, allowing two runs to score.
CSU put up a good fight in its final at bat as Ochoa led off with a single. Nia Bowe was hit by a pitch to put the tying run on base with one out, but once again the Eagles Navy & Gold came up empty.

Soraya Valdez-Frick had half of Coppin State's hits with a pair of base knocks. Brissa Alvarado and Cloe Ochoa also had base hits. Alvarado was also hit by a pitch, as was Nia Bowe.
