Senior Rachel DeWolfe (New Cumberland, Pa./Cedar Cliff) delivered a single through the left side with one out to give Lycoming the lead.
 
In the sixth, the Warriors tacked on an insurance run, as sophomore Rachel Daub (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale Area) doubled to lead off before coming around to score on an error.
