In the Tigers' opening game of the weekend, Kenyon scored two unanswered goals before Sewanee could get on the board. Kenyon's Sarah McNee recorded two goals in the first half to start things off for the Ladies. Sewanee's
Anne Booke was able to find the net at the five minute mark of the first, off an assist by
Taylor Skeen, to pull to 2-1 at the half. But Kenyon's Alex Bair scored off a penalty corner late in the second to make it 3-1. Bair's goal was enough and the Ladies would hold on for the win, dropping the Tigers's record to 1-2.

Ohio Wesleyan's Calina Hilyard scored her first goal of the day for the Battling Bishops to even the score at 1-1 in the first half. But Ohio Wesleyan was too much for the Tigers and Hilyard's second goal of the day, at the 42 minute mark in the second half, was enough to put Sewanee away.
