Wright State looked to answer in the top of the fifth as Meredith Keel started the bats for the Raiders singling to shortstop. Back to back walks by the Huskers loaded the bases and set up a Grace Gressly RBI single to left field before a Brianna Hutchinson two-run RBI single to center field would tie the score 3-3.  

Payton Baxter's two-run homerun in the top of the seventh inning gave the Raiders a 5-3 lead before Madison Hartman's single up the middle drove home pinch runner Erniey Hursey, extending Wright State's lead. Nebraska added one final run in the bottom of the inning by way of a double to right centerfield.
