Riley Sartain leads the team with eight home runs, while Vidales has belted six home runs and paces the team with 36 RBI. In the circle, Trinity Harrington is 9-1 with a 1.53 ERA. Samantha Show holds an 8-3 mark and a 2.49 ERA. Lexi Smith is 5-1, while Maddie MacGrandle has also added five wins.

Lamar enters the contest with an 18-14 record and is led offensively by Savana Guidry, who is hitting .349 with 14 RBI. Kelly Meeuwsen powers the offensive attack with six homers and 21 RBI. Laura Napoli and Taylor Gruell have each recorded seven wins in the circle, while Amie Cisneros is 3-2.
