Aaliyah Brown and Chloe Woodward posted identical lines with two hits a double and two RBIs as the Eagles scored a run in the first inning, four in the second, three in the fourth and one more in the fifth to win their seventh consecutive game.

Midwestern State freshman Mikey Dominguez launched her fifth home run over the left-field fence in the top of the second inning to account for the Mustangs' lone run of the game.

Sophomore Hannah Pate drove in Brooklin Bain to stake the Eagles to a 1-0 lead with a run scoring single to left field in the first before Abby LaValley delivered an RBI double to highlight a three-run third inning.
