Facing two outs in the fifth inning, Coker homered to left field to give Piedmont a 2-1 lead. 

MELISSA ECKMAN picked up the win after pitching a complete game. 

Game 2 started off Huntingdon's way again as the Hawks, playing as the home team, took a 2-0 lead after the first inning. 

Piedmont would score one run in the third inning off a HANNAH HOBAN single to score Coker and then tied the game in the fourth after an ALLYSON GENTRY single scored HALEY MCCURRY.
