GAME 1
The Trojans got off to a stellar start in the top of the first inning, bringing in a whopping six runs by Vanessa Ruby, Dominique Mulero, Tatyana Jordan, Kennedy Presson, Amirah Chaney, and Samantha Cunningham. VSU set the tone for how the rest of the conference play matchup would go.

Plagued by an abundance of errors to give up the runs, the Bulldogs were able to score a single run in the bottom of the first by Ja'Seph Smith. The Trojans kept their foot on the gas scoring three runs in the second inning (Ayannah Bowman, Vanessa Ruby, Dominique Mulero), and a left field homerun by Mulero in the third inning, chipped in two more runs as she bought Ruby in.

The Trojans finished off the game with a run from Bowman in the fifth, to increase the score to 12-1. Mulero handled the mound, only giving up a total of two hits against the Bulldogs.
 
GAME 2

VSU ended the first inning with a total of three runs (Bowman, Mulero, and Ruby) and scored in every inning of their 15-2 victory. Bowie found life in the second inning, scoring two runs by Morgan White and Ja'Seph Smith. Although the Bulldogs capitalized on the fielding errors of the Trojans, they could not hold off the Trojans as they were in full force. Over the next three innings, VSU tallied a total of eight runs, bringing the final score to 15-2, in favor of Virginia State. Mulero only gave up three hits at the home plate, compared to the 11 that the Trojans were able to put up.
