Walsh was unable to get any run support as the Pioneers were held to just three hits which included double by first-year Emily Carroll and senior Kira Ferraiolo.
An RBI single to center field by Bri Walker of Central Connecticut State in the bottom of the fourth scored in the lone run of the game.

The Blue Devils would then add a pair more in the following inning to take a 9-0 heading into the third courtesy of an RBI double to right and a bases-loaded walk.
SHU's lone run came in the top of the third inning as senior Caroline Kruger launched a solo home run to right field for her third of the year.
Central Connecticut would score the remaining runs in the bottom of the third to result in the 15-1 victory.
