Goalkeeper Elaine Moya -- with the help of a strong defensive effort from Marlene Calderon, Claudia Huerta, Cynthia Escalante and Jayme Krohnfeldt -- closed the door on any more scoring. The midfield of Jacqueline Hubbard, Emily Gruber, Amy Heil and Albamaria Barrios took back control of the game.

Forwards Cristina Tuer, Julyana Bello and Steffani Nava started to spread the South Irvine defense, allowing Hubbard to score her second goal of the game. Nava scored the winning goal with three minutes left.
