HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
BOTTOM 5TH | After four scoreless innings of play, Lexie Storrer sent her first collegiate homer over the left-center fence to put the Sharks on the board. The next batter, Keeley Mayers, sent a double to the same spot, and after a sacrifice bunt by Kayla Kight moved her to third, Tia Williams brought her home on a sacrifice fly to left, giving NSU a 2-0 edge.
 
TOP 6TH | The Eagles were able to knot things up the next half inning as Suka Van Gurp's throw to the plate was just a second to slow to catch Maggie Scott and an RBI-single by pinch hitter Meritxell Blesa made it 2-2.
 
TOP 7TH | Embry-Riddle took advantage of a Shark error and an RBI-double in the top of the seventh, tallying the final two runs of the game for a 5-2 lead and eventual winning tally.
 
INSIDE THE STATS:
 
  • Storrer finished 2-for-3 with a base knock in addition to her homer, while she took the loss in the circle, going the distance and allowing five runs (4 ER) on eight hits with three strikeouts.
  • Mayers was 1-for-2 and scored once while Aubry Hernandez, Sydney Lageyre and Tia Williams all finished 1-for-3.
 
BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:
