In game one, BC starter Nicole D'Argento (4-10) struggled with her control early, and Virginia took advantage. D'Argento walked three of the first four batters she faced in the game, and with the bases loaded threw a wild pitch to give Virginia their first run of the game.
The Cavaliers would score two more runs in the inning knocking D'Argento out of the game after only one inning.
Virginia would go on to hit five home runs in the next four innings to blow the game open.
Boston College scored its only run of the game in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI groundout by Amy Tunstall.

In game two, Virginia opened the scoring in the top of the second inning scoring two runs on one hit and an error off of BC starter Allison Gage (5-8).
Boston College cut the lead down to 2-1 in the bottom of the second inning scoring on an RBI single by junior Alison Kooistra.
The Cavaliers used the long ball to their advantage all afternoon as they hit eight home runs on the day including a three-run home run in the top of the third inning to make the score 5-1.
Gage pitched four innings allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits while striking out three.
Home runs by Ramos in the third and fifth innings kept the Eagles in the game but they couldn't mount a comeback falling by the score of 6-4.
