Guilford pitchers Makayla Carver (5), Casey Snead (4) and Maggie Shaffer (3) combined to strike out 15 of the 20 batters they faced in the five-inning contest. Carver worked the first two innings.

Sabrina Moreno, Jordan Starke and Laura Hall also had two RBI.

Erin Ogden had three hits, including a home run, and Calli Pastor added three hits in Guilford's 11-0 win in the nightcap. Kailey Swaim went two-for-three with a two-run double in the first inning that keyed the Quakers' eight-run frame.
