Rometo led off the game with walk and got herself home after stealing second and then getting hit in during the next at-bat by O'Brien with a base hit up the middle. The Knights tied the game in the bottom half, but SUNY New Paltz took the lead in the third. Again, Rometo got things going leading off with a single with O'Brien following her with a base hit.
