In the nightcap, UMBC (13-6) scored seven times in the bottom of the sixth inning to erase a 5-1 deficit for an 8-5 come-from-behind victory. The decisive rally started with Amanda Fefel and Emily Thompson coaxing bases loaded walks before Malorie Weller plated a run on a groundout to trim the margin to 5-4. Angela Yannone then handed the Retrievers the lead for good on a three-run double to left center before Lauren O'Malley capped the seven-run inning with an RBI single.

The Mount jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third when Zingle singled and came around to score on Curreri's two-run homer down the left field line.

UMBC answered with a run in the bottom of the inning on a run-scoring single by Kaela Mason to trim the margin to 2-1.

Mount St. Mary's responded right back with a run in the fourth and two in the fifth to grab a 5-1 edge.

Buckel doubled and came around to score on Erin Leddy's (Great Mills, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) RBI single to center in the fourth. After Curreri reached on an error and Liz Christiansen (Etters, Pa./Red Land) walked to start the fifth, Buckel and Jenna Zimmerman (Walkersville, Md./Walkersville) recorded back-to-back RBI singles to right center to plate Curreri and Christiansen to increase the advantage to four runs. The Retrievers then scored seven times in the sixth to go on for the 8-5 win.

The Hoyas tied the game at 2 with two runs in the bottom of the first thanks to a Demetria Cipriano two-run double to left.

After Zingle singled to left center and Curreri reached on a bunt base hit, Christiansen brought home Zingle on a sacrifice fly to right. Zimmerman reached on an error to score Curreri, but Georgetown scored the next seven runs to go on for the victory.
