The Golden Knights turned three double plays to help out senior right-hander Phillip Zdanowski who won his third straight start by scattering eight hits over the distance. Junior shortstop Tyler Ungerland and senior center fielder Derek Reed recorded their 18th and 15th multi-hit games of the year to spearhead the offense. Ungerland finished 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a walk, while Reed went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. Also, sophomore designated hitter Alec Caprarella wound up 2-for-4 with two runs scored as well.

They then fell 1-0 to host UMass Lowell and were defeated 15-10 by Stonehill in the elimination bracket.
