After the loss, the Crimson Wave dropped to the bottom side of the bracket, with a longer path back to the championship.   CCSJ took on Lincoln College on Friday morning taking a 4-3 win with Kenzie Lanman pitching the first five innings and Kessler taking over for the last two earning the win.  Lanman and Kessler combined for 8 strikeouts in the win.  The offense was spread throughout the lineup with Ryan Regnier, Kayla Kirmani, and Grace Elrod each had two hits while Kirmani and Elrod each added two RBI's.

The Crimson Wave's season would come to end shortly after the back-to-back wins as the ladies could not seem to string their offense together, falling to Roosevelt 4-0.
