The Student Pronces won Game 2 10-1 to earn the split.
The Polar Bears move to 10-5 overall and are 1-1 in OAC action, while the Student Princes move to 10-4, 1-1.
Freshman Jenna Hollar and Saturday had back-to back doubles in the bottom of the third inning to snap a 1-1 tie in Game 1.
Senior Kelly Sheridan followed with a sharp single to right to score Saturday and put the Polar Bears up 3-1.
In the bottom of the fourth, Saturday had a 2-out, 2-run single to score freshman Miranda Huddle and freshman Anna Martin to extend ONU's lead to 5-1.
Her 2-run home run to right center in the top of the sixth made it 8-2 Polar Bears.
Freshman Kirsten Lightel improved to 6-1 in the circle, allowing only two runs in the complete game victory.
