CSULA converted its own penalty kick in the 11th minute as Heather Williams scored the eventual game-winning goal. She nearly added another in the final minute of the first half as her shot hit off the crossbar. Victoria Arredondo collected the rebound and again fired off the crossbar before teammate Andrea Lammers headed it home on the third attempt.
The team's season leading goal scorer Amalia Arvidsson got into the act with her 10th goal in the 75th minute. Teammate Saha Arghandiwal finished off a corner from teammate Joleen Galeazzi-Pimentel in the 84th minute to cap the scoring.
