Jenna Motuza led the game off with a double and then scored one batter later when Tori Allen singled up the middle. Brittany Dauterman then singled before Carly Borders walked to load the bases with no outs. Emily Reynolds then drove in Allen with a single, but the Oilers could not manage another run in the frame.
Reynolds went 2-for-3 at the plate with one RBI while Allen finished 2-for-4 with one RBI as well.

The Oilers will play Ferris State tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
