Sophomore Nicole Miller was Syracuse’s only other base runner, reaching first on a throwing error by DePaul’s catcher. Gray moved to third on the same play, but the Blue Demons managed to get the final two outs of the inning.

DePaul scored twice in the third in game two, but Gray doubled to right field in the fourth inning to score sophomore Amy Kelley and juniors Chanel Roehner and Rachel Tilford, giving the Orange a 3-2 lead.

The Blue Demons tied the game at 3-3 in the fourth and Sandy Vojik hit a solo home run in the sixth to give DePaul the 4-3 win.
