The Eagles easily won over Valmeyer in their first game, 20-0, as five of their players hit home runs (Kaylee Bastien, Kalli Farmer, Kelly Metter, Caitlyn Touchette and Brianna Weilbacher).
Waterloo won with similar ease over Gibault, 14-3, setting up a championship game against Columbia. Ashley Reeder went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs, and Kady Cecena contributed a hit and three RBIs in the win over the Hawks.
