Niagara scored one run in the fifth on a RBI double by Bridget Hogan and got two runs in the sixth inning to cut the lead to 5-4. The Purple Eagles had the bases loaded when Brittany Richberg grounded out to first to send home one run, while Aileen Hinton was walked to score another.  

However, the Peacocks added one run in their half of the sixth on an error to increase their lead to two runs.

NU had a chance to extend the game in the last inning. With runners on second and third with one out, NU recorded consecutive outs – a strike out and flied out – to end the game.

Niagara looks to rebound with a doubleheader on Sunday at Manhattan starting Noon.
