The score remained that way until the bottom of the third when NJCU erupted for six runs. Mya Villaneuva led off with a single to right field. Natalie Rosales reached on a fielder's choice to short and promptly moved to second on the stolen base. 

Tunney doubled her home for the first run by NJCU, tying the game at 1-1. A walk to Olden and a steal by Tunney gave the Gothic Knights runners on the corners before Olden swiped second. Mendolla reached on a bunt single to first that plated Tunney, giving the home team the lead, 2-1.Castro cleared the bases with a double to right center making it 4-1 and Mojica closed the inning with a double but was thrown out by a laser of a throw from Fajardo as NJCU led 6-1.
