SHU rallied in the seventh, scoring four times.  Bre Athey got the Griffins going with a leadoff homer to cut the lead to 3-2. Camryn Murphy singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Nina Grandey.  Paredes followed with an RBI single to score Murphy and tie the score at three.  Paredes moved to second on an error on the play and Alexis Bonatch pinch ran for her.  After an out, Lauren Dellett broke the tie with an RBI double.  Mackenzie Zang followed with an RBI single as SHU took a 5-3 lead.  Dellett kept the Lakers off the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning to preserve the win.
