In game one, Wesley scored the first five runs and held a 5-0 advantage in the third inning.  Four consecutive singles in the fourth inning for the Nittany Lions helped them get two runs across the plate.
Amy Worek (Abington, Pa.) and Danielle Hebling (Warminster, Pa.) drove in two more runs in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly and a single to center field. The Nittany Lions took advantage of a throwing error to tie the game in the seventh inning and Nicole Battaglio (King of Prussia, Pa.) hit the game winning run across the plate with a single to center field.

The Nittany Lions jumped out to an early lead in game two spurred on by a triple from Greta Sheridan (Horsham, Pa.) that gave Abington a 3-0 lead. Abington added to its total in the fourth inning with an RBI single from Becca Dougherty (Churchville, Pa.).  Junior pitcher Emily Wrenn (Hatboro, Pa.) allowed 11 hits, but kept the Wolverines from scoring with only three earned runs.
