Kim Walker (6-11) pitched well in the first game for NPU, holding Augustana to seven hits as the game remained close at 1-0 until the home team scored three times in the sixth inning. In game two, however, Augustana took control early and manager Dan Gooris' team was limited to a Katie Ritti single offensively.

Walker had better success in a 3-1 nonleague win over Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee a day earlier. She threw a complete game five-hitter in game one of a double header and struck out seven. She also drove in one run with a single in NPU's three-run sixth inning.

Trailing 1-0, Walker's RBI single brought in Stacey Salihovich. Mindy Eberhardt brought in Walker and Stieve with a two-run single.

In the second game, NPU trailed 8-0 after two innings, but Walker's RBI single and a RBI single by Stieve helped the Vikings make a strong comeback. In the seventh inning, an RBI single by Salihovich and a two-run single by Eberhardt narrowed NPU's deficit to 8-6 before Laura Lacefield ended the game by lining out to first base with two on and two out.
