Villanova tied the game in the bottom of the third, but the Ospreys responded with a five run fourth inning, which included a two-RBI double by senior Lexi Taylor, plus RBI singles by freshman Navia Penrod and senior Katie Mandigo.
Â
The Ospreys added another run in the fifth off of a walk to make the score 7-1, before senior Stacy McClelland made the score 8-1 with a RBI single.
