University, as the Lady Tigers invoked the run-rule in five innings and allowed just one hit in both games.

Ouachita (8-1) won Game 1, 9-0, behind a shutout victory from junior Kristen Rigsbee on the mound, as Rigsbee also provided a walk-off two-run homerun to seal the win. In Game 2, Ouachita defeated Lincoln, 8-0, as junior Sara Hanson went five innings in allowing just one hit, as senior Haley Chambers provided a three-run homerun in the first inning.
