Game 1 – Won 12-3 vs Northwest Kansas Tech 
The Conqs as they have done all season got on the board early scoring a pair of runs in the first inning against the Mavericks and then adding another in the second to lead 3-0. Northwest Kansas Tech got on the board in the bottom of the second with back-to-back hits to open the inning and then made it a one-run game with another run in the third making it 3-2 entering the fourth. In the top of the fourth, the Conqs busted the game open batting around scoring eight runs. A two-run home run by Raemie Lopp, a two-RBI triple by Addison Spencer, and RBI double by Izabella Mikelson all highlighted the eight-run fourth. The Mavericks grabbed a run in the bottom of the fourth but a Reneau Ratzlaff triple and then RBI single by Spencer got a run back for the Conqs in the fifth as the Conqs set the Mavericks down in order in the bottom of the fifth to grab the 12-3 win. 
 
K'lee Flores tossed all five innings giving up three runs on six hits and no walks, while striking out four and added a 2-4 showing at the plate with two RBI and a run scored.

In the first Lopp belted her second two-run homer of the day, while Flores had a two-RBI single and in the second Mikelson recorded a two-RBI double, while Rylie Hufford had an RBI double in the inning.
