Maryville (4-2) scored three runs in the top of the fifth, to take a 4-3 lead over DSU, and held on for the  victory, despite a Lady Statesmen rally.

The Lady Statesmen (4-6) looked to be in control, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning against MU starter Kelsey Kapitzke.

Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Raina Stiffler's two out RBI single to center field scored pinch-runner Angela Carden from second base to tie the game.
