The Cougars would add one more in the third, four in the fourth, and three in the sixth to take the victory 15-0 in seven innings.

Against the ace of Columbia's staff, the Owls managed just five hits and left five on base as they threatened in the first, third, and fifth but were unable to get a run across the plate.   Matt Hanson went 2-3 and Tyler Horton was 1-1 on the night.
