How It Happened - Game One
- Crisp spun a three hitter, striking out six and facing four batters over the minimum in a 4-0 win. Morgan Fallon and Heather Pelletier each drove in two runs to support Crisp, who improved 6-5 with the win.
- The Owls got all the runs they would need in the first when Stephanie Long singled up the middle to lead-off the game, and moved to third as Kayla Votto reached on an error. Pelletier singled up the middle to bring in both runners.
- Keene State added two more in the third when Pelletier drew a two out walk and Fallon deposited her first home run of the year over the fence in right field.
- Crisp, meanwhile, carried a no-hitter into the fourth and set down the first 10 batters she faced before allowing a single to Danielle Robillard in the bottom of the fourth. The Warriors got just one runner past second base the entire game, and Crisp induced a pop-out from Kristyn Ryan to end the contest.
How It Happened - Game Two
- The Owls managed just four hits in the second game, but took advantage of two Eastern Connecticut errors and got another sterling performance from Crisp in a 3-2 win.
- Keene State again broke through in the first, as Long led off with a single and came around on an error.
- Fallon doubled to lead off the fourth and scored on Shae Crosby's single up the middle, and Brittany DaMota scored on a wild pitch in the fifth.
- The Warriors were stymied again, not getting a runner past second past until the sixth, when Emily Komornik reached on an error, and Samantha Rentz hit a two-run homer to get ECSU within one.
- Crisp kept the Warriors off the scoreboard the rest of the way, ending the inning by getting a pair of popouts, and ending the game when Alyssa Hancock flew out to center.
