Alexia Najarro drove in three runs with two hits for Cass. Sierrah Gani added a triple and scored a run. Arianna Mustin had one hit and one RBI. Shaniya Wilson and Moore also had hits for the Lady Colonels. Wilson Mustin, and Moore each stole a base.

Fannin took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but Cass responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning to take a lead they would retain.
