Simitovic and Simona Cellar delivered two hits and scored two runs each, while Jennifer Montague drove in two runs.

American Macy Morgan made her first start for the Challengers, but was interrupted by a 40 minutes rain delay after the second inning, before a two-run double by Pamela Kellenberger chased her after 3.1 innings of work.
