Riding the momentum from the opener, UB erupted for seven runs in the first inning of the finale. The Purple Knights needed just five hits to pile up their 11 runs in the game.

Perreault was once again at the forefront as she hammered a first-inning grand slam. She finished the two games 3-for-6 with five RBIs, two runs and a walk.

UB's first-inning barrage also featured a two-RBI single from Madison D'Amato after Bridgeport had batted through their order.

After the seven-run first, Jones provided an RBI single in the fourth while Oros and Olivia Young initiated bases-loaded walks in the fifth.
