Offensively, Frahm went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a double. Jesse Farrell, Hannah Camenzind and Samantha Bland added a double apiece while Ava Kuszak, Emmerson Cope and Lauren Camenzind each had a hit. 

 

L. Camenzind singled in the top of the third and scored on a two-out Farrell double to give NU a 1-0 edge.
