The game was scoreless after three innings until Hofstra put two on the board in top of the fourth. Olivia Galati and Erin Trippi, both reaching on walks, scored off a Jess Hirschbuhl two RBI single to left field.

The Pride brought the score to 3-0 in the top of the fifth when Caryn Bailey scored off a wild pitch. Bailey had originally reached after being hit by a pitch.

Mason had two runners in scoring position in the top of the fifth, with runners on second and third. Hofstra would escape the inning unharmed as Galati struck out Amanda Bender for the third out.
