Adriana Echavarria and Bridget McCleary produced their first hits of the season off coaches pitches. Extra base hits by Emily Longo, Vivian Meehan, and Olivia Nikolis pushed across a combined seven runs. In the field, strong defensive plays by Katelyn Marcum at third and Molly McCleary at first thwarted potential Danbury rallies in the second and fourth innings.
