The deficit for Radford grew in the second when the Wolfpack loaded the bases on a double, single and walk. Molly Hutchison looked at ball four to bring one runner home and put N.C. State up 3-0.

Radford's defense settled down though an inning later, forcing N.C. State into a 1-2-3 second frame.
 
With the Highlanders unable to engineer any runs across, the Wolfpack added to its lead in the third with a pair of solo home runs to go ahead 14-0.
