The Fighting Knights and Sharks remained scoreless through three until NSU put up a run in the top of the fourth. Granitto began the inning with a single down the left field line. She was driven home by a Dajia Jones (Jr., Jacksonville, Fla.) single to left center.

With one out in the fifth, Sabrina Fischer (Fr., Loxahatchee, Fla.) singled up the middle followed by a walk by Dakota Villella (Jr., Hollywood, Fla.). Granitto singled through the left side, finishing 2-for-4, to load the bases for Blummer who then homered to left field.
 
The Sharks threatened again in the top of the sixth as Ashley Roe (Jr., Flower Mound, Texas) and Villella both saw hits, but the bases would be left loaded.
