Senior Emily Johnson led the team on offense with two hits and two runs scored. Hannah Braun and Alyssa Esperum also drove in runs.

Both teams scored two runs in the second and third innings and single tallies in the sixth. Finally, in the seventh inning the Jennies brought across a run and Lindenwood could not answer.

Johnson had another two-hit game and Kate Keaton was one-for-one with a RBI. Adi Powell started for the Lady Lions and went five innings earning a no decision.
