Their first game on April 8 started slow, with both teams needing to put a run on the board for two innings. Southern Arkansas brought two runners home in the third inning, giving them a small lead. Tech was able to make a strong comeback in the fifth inning and put seven runs on the board. Multiple goods at-bats and a home run by Jessica Williams, a senior from DeQueen, gave them this prominent lead. Southern Arkansas lessened their losing gap with a three-run home run but stayed at 7-5. Both teams scored one more run by the end of the game, granting the Golden Suns an 8-7 victory.

Bradi Basler, a sophomore from Lansing, Kansas, pitched for Tech while the next four innings remained quiet. An active sixth inning for Southern Arkansas brought the final score to 6-0.
The Golden Suns were able to redeem themselves in the final game. Brooke Prewitt, a redshirt senior from Cleburne, Texas, crossed the plate first for Tech in the first inning.
