How It Happened (Game 1)
 
* Freshman Ava Livingston drove in the game's first run in the opening inning which provided all the offense the Nittany Lions would need.
 
* Starting pitcher, junior Gretchen Yanss, held the Gwynedd Mercy offense to just two hits over four innings of work.  She struck out seven of the 15 batters she faced in the game.
 
* Sophomore Emmalee Myerholtz pitched three innings of relief and allowing just three hits while striking out one.  As a result, she earned her first career save.
 
* Abington scored an insurance run in the top half of the seventh when freshman Marlena Hacker scored freshman Sara Slimm with a base hit to centerfield.  Slimm pinch ran for freshman Paula Casale who led the inning off with a single.

* Freshman Isabella Antosiewicz went 2-for-3 with a run.
 
* Hacker finished the game 3-for-4 with an RBI.
 
* For Gwynedd Mercy, Ashley Haggerty went 2-for-3 at the plate and pitched a complete game.  She scattered eight hits through seven innings and allowed two runs.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)
 
* In the night cap, Abington jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the first inning.  Freshman Victoria Butler led the inning off with a base hit through the left side.  She went on to steal second and then third base before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Hacker.  Antosiewicz, who reached on an error and then stole second, scored on a wild pitch later in the inning.
 
* The score remained 2-0 until the bottom of the fifth when the Griffins pushed four runs across to grab their first lead of the game.  Grace Scally highlighted the inning with a three-run double before scoring a run herself on a groundout.
