After a Teddi Hernandez double, Danielle Signorelli reached on an error, scoring Street to make it 4-2. Two batters later DeZolt hit a two-run single to knot the game at 4-4.

The score stayed tied until the bottom of the sixth inning when Danielle Fagan hit a leadoff home run to give the Owls a 5-4 lead.

The Explorers will wrap up their season on Friday, May 5, with a Senior Day doubleheader against Fordham starting at 3:00 p.m.
