Emory won the first game 13-0 and the nitecap 5-1.

Siena Kiefer, who drew a walk, and
Naya Schubel and
Victoria Negron, who were each hit by a pitch.
The second game was more competitive, as
Keira D'Errico's fielder's choice in the second inning pulled NYU within 2-1.
The Eagles went on to score two more runs in the fourth and one in the seventh for the final margin.
Katie Antosiewicz pitched all seven innings for the Violets, and Schubel had two of NYU's five hits.
The teams are scheduled to complete the three-game series back at Bahoshy Field at 7:00pm on Saturday.
