In the field, freshman Caitlin Attfield was solid in the shortstop position, with two putouts and four assists. In the bottom of the second inning, Attfield managed to stop a ball that tipped off senior third baseman Kate Armstrong's glove, and got up before fielding it cleanly to junior first baseman Megan McGrath for the first out.
For the third out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Attfield dove on a ball that was hit over Campbell's head, and managed to land on the bag at second to get the lead runner out.
