Noelle gathered 304 for Northeast on the first turn, a decent opener for the visitors. Fuchsia answered with 259 for Southeast, a reasonable response to keep things close early on. Kirstin couldn't stop a deflected offering from ending her turn at 399 after it bounced off her wicket, stalling the addition to the Northeast offense.
