Game 1 - Box Score (PDF)
Georgetown scored two runs in the second, two more in the fourth and three in the sixth and Cornell could muster just four hits in a 7-1 Hoya win in game one. Kristan Baker's solo home run in the seventh was the Big Red's lone offense, while Meg Parker was 2-for-3.

Hoya starters Lauren O'Leary went the distance, surrendering just the one run in a complete game four-hitter, striking out six without issuing a walk. Elyse Graziano was 3-for-4 and was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle, while Grace Appelbe hit a home run.

Game 2 - Box Score (PDF)
Onyon dominated from beginning to end and rode Sophie Giaquinto's hot bat to the doubleheader split. Onyon tossed a complete game three-hitter, striking out a season-best 10. The senior was perfect through four and was only threatened once, in the fifth, when she stranded the bases loaded.

Giaquinto had an RBI flyout in the first, a two-run homer in the third and a two-run single in the seventh to finish the day 2-for-3 with five RBI, tied for the 11th most in a game in school history. Parker was 2-for-2 with a double, making her 4-for-5 on the day to raise her season batting average to .316
