Marlow took the loss on the mound for the Cougars. Game two, unfortunately, was more of the same as the Cougars committed four errors in a 9-5 loss. Chelsea Koch was on the mound for Clackamas in game two, but threw five walks in her six innings of work and they would come back to haunt her as the Cougar defense showed some more early season jitters. Koch only allowed five hits in the game. Freshman Lanea Hyland led the Cougars on the day with four hits, including two doubles, while sophomore Cijay Koanui had three hits. Casey Middagh also had three hits, including two doubles, Christina Roberti had two hits and Caitlin Ooley went 2-3 with two singles in the sec ond game.
