DSC's Breanna Egge (Las Vegas. NV/Centennial High School) and Nellie Hardy went deep. while Hicken went 3-for-3 with two stolen bases. Brittnie Whipple took the loss to run her record to 4-1.

The Red Storm had one last chance in the seventh. but Shantae Hunter (Idaho Falls. ID/Idaho Falls High School)'s laser with runners on second and third was gobbled up by the ENM third baseman for the final out.

"I think we're off to a good start." said DSC coach Beth Collett. "Obviously we would rather be 9-0. but they came out hitting the ball better than we did. I think if we had an extra inning we could have come back and beat them."
