Game one saw senior Chelsea Peters take the circle and go the distance for the Lynx.  Peters pitched seven strong innings, holding the Panthers to one run through six innings, before an error filled seventh inning allowed three more LaGrange players to cross the plate.  

Offensively, Rhodes' had runners on base early and often but were unable to push any runs across. In seven innings, the Lynx left ten stranded and committed three errors, aiding the Panthers in their game one victory.

 
Game two saw a refocused Lynx team take the field, looking to return to their winning ways.  Behind a stellar overall performance by sophomore Jessica Becher (pitching six scoreless innings, 2 for 3 at the plate) the Lynx capitalized on having runners on base throughout the contest.  Despite again stranding double digit runners, the Lynx were able to plate two runs, enough for the win.

Jessica Becher received the win for the Lynx and freshman Forrest Skelton earned a save for her work, relieving Becher over the last two innings.

The Lynx ended the road trip with a 3-1 record improving their season mark to 6-5-1.
