After a scoreless first inning from both squads, the Husson (14-4, 2-0) bats exploded in the bottom of the second, scoring a barrage of 17 runs. 

Senior Julia Gregoire ignited the run with a single to center field, in a inning that saw eight different Eagles recording at least one RBI. Junior Tori Exel contributed with three RBI's on a single and double, while senior Kenzie Dore added four RBI's of her own, with a single and a home run over the right-center wall.
