Even though the Vols started out on a high note the game did not end in their favor losing 5-3. In the second game the Vols stayed with Wabash Valley but ended up losing 3-2. Lynnsay Wilson and Taylor Rogers kept the Lady Vols in the game both having solo homeruns. Coach Taylor Orsburn Siefert stated, "I am very pleased with how our team battled today.

Overall our team played great defensively, pitchers pitched with a lot of confidence but at the end of the day the outcome did not fall our way."
