Montana DeCamp hit a solo shot over the wall in dead center as North Dakota led 5-0 after four innings. NDSU used a two-out walk and five consecutive hits to plate seven runs to eventually end the contest after five innings of play. Danielle Olson recorded the lone Western hit.
 
Since only one game was played, a doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning (March 31).
