Bowen was 3 for 4 with 2 RBI in the game, while Suna was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI to lead the Lynx offense.

The Lynx bats stayed hot in game 2, giving freshman Chelsea Peters more than enough run support as she made the first SCAC start of her career.  Kelli Zomer set the tone for the game, leading off the game with her 3rd home run of the year, and Conn would single and score on a double by Moore to give the Lynx a 2-0 lead after one inning.

Centre scored their lone run of the game on a 2 out double from Caitlyn Teague in the 5th, but Peters got Regina Sena to ground out to short to end the game after 5 innings with the Lynx winning 9-1 to complete the 4 game sweep.

Peters improved her record to 3-0 on the season, giving up 1 run on 4 hits while notching 5 strikeouts. Moore was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI and Zomer was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 runs scored to lead the Lynx offense.
