L-R starters Dawon Millwood (24-5) and Lauren Harris (7-2) limited the Jaguars to just six combined hits in the twinbill.

In game two, ASU starter Heather Hughes (9-5) surrendered nine hits and five runs in 3.2 innings. The Bears broke the game open with three runs in the fifth for a 5-0 lead before tacking on a run in the seventh.
