- VU tacked on to its lead with three runs in the fifth to go up 6-1 which stood as the final score

- Walkden's third-inning home run was her 10th of the year – she has now hit double-digit home runs in three of her four seasons at Seton Hall
- Walkden is now eight home runs shy of the program record (Laura Taylor, 59) and is also eight RBIs away from Taylor's record of 160
