The Wildcats wasted no time setting the tone in the top of the first. After Jordan McMahon reached and Abby Grundy moved into scoring position, a wild pitch brought home the game's first run. Later in the inning, Kiaira Smith ripped a two-run double to center, scoring Grundy and Riley Whalen to make it 3-0. Victoria Rey followed with an RBI single through the left side, and with the lineup turning over, McMahon delivered the biggest swing of the frame, a three-run triple to right field that cleared the bases and pushed Weber State's lead to 7-0 after one inning.
Idaho State answered quickly in the second inning with a surge of its own. The Bengals used three home runs in the inning, including solo and two-run shots, to plate five runs and trim the lead to 7-5. Despite the momentum shift, Weber State's early offensive explosion proved critical.
After a pair of scoreless innings, Grundy helped the Wildcats create separation in the fourth with a solo home run to deep left, extending the lead to 8-5. Idaho State answered with a sacrifice fly in the fifth to make it a two-run game, but Weber State's offense came through again in the sixth.
Mariyah Delgado opened the sixth inning with a two-run home run to left field, scoring Taegan Smith and stretching the advantage to 10-6. Just moments later, Jordan Hart added insurance with a solo bomb to center, giving Weber State an 11-6 cushion.
The Bengals made one final push in the bottom half of the sixth, scoring twice on a sacrifice fly and RBI single to pull within three. But the Wildcats' pitching staff and defense shut the door in the seventh, preserving the 11-8 victory.
McMahon led the way offensively with three hits and three RBI, while Delgado scored twice and drove in two. Weber State finished with 13 hits, including four home runs.
