But Lycoming was unable to convert the runs.

Susquehanna came out hot in game two, scoring three runs in the first inning. But the Lady Warriors battled back, closing the gap with three of their own runs in the top of the third inning. Manda Peck, Lauren Carey and Shauna Starr were all able to round the bases and score. The Crusaders got their bats going again in the bottom of the third, driving in another three runs. Nabholz reached home in the fifth inning to narrow the margin 6-4 before another two Susquehanna runs in the bottom of the sixth sealed the Warriors fate.
