In Husson's final game of its 2023 spring break trip Misericordia struck for two runs in the first inning to take a 2-0 advantage before adding two more runs in the third inning to extend its advantage to 4-0.

Husson didn't go down without a fight as sophomore Kiara McLeod single to center field in the sixth inning to score Dore and McCabe tallied her third RBI of the day on an RBI single down the left field line that played junior Jess Pomerleau who entered as a pinch runner. 
 
The Eagles would put a runner on in the top half of the seventh inning, but Misericordia doubled off the Eagles to hang on for the 5-3 decision.
