After the Panthers claimed an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, the Lions scored three runs in the bottom half followed by six more runs throughout the final six innings to move onto game five of the NCAA East 2 Regional versus Queens. In the process, the Brown and Gold were knocked out of the bracket.

For Georgian Court, senior infielder Justine Mattia drove in four runs while fellow senior infielder Briana Molino went 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. After surrendering two runs in the first, senior pitcher Tina Morgan went on to pitch the complete game by scattering eight hits and two strikeouts.

Andrews drove in the first of two runs for the Panthers in the opening inning with a double to deep center field to plate junior infielder Victoria Wink. Andrews then scored on an error in the outfield to put Adelphi up 2-0.

Small ball helped Georgian Court capture a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the first, as Molino bunted in a run and Mattia plated two runs after successful early bunts by the Lions. Freshman outfielder Taylor Boltersdorf scored a run in the second to increase the lead to 4-2.

The Lions continued to increase their lead with five runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Mattia drove in two more runs with a single down the left field line followed and later scored to make it 7-2 Georgian Court after five innings.
