Game 1 Recap: Wilson College 2, Penn State Schuylkill 1
Location: Chambersburg, Pa.
In a tightly contested opener, Penn State Schuylkill came up just short in a 2-1 loss to Wilson College, despite a solid outing in the circle by Emma Crisswell.
Wilson broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with an RBI single from Sydney Hartle, and after Schuylkill tied it in the sixth on a Mackenzie Carl RBI single, the Phoenix regained the lead later that frame, capitalizing on a throwing error to score the go-ahead run.
Crisswell struck out seven and allowed just four hits over six innings, but Wilson's timely execution proved to be the difference.

Emma Crisswell (P): 6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 7 K
