The Toreros scored the only goal they would need in the 33rd minute of play, as Jacqueline Altschuld fired off a shot into the upper right corner of the goal, and into the back of the net to give USD the 1-0 lead.

San Diego then put the match out of reach in the 58th minute of action. Julia Sherwood sent a cross to the feet of Tara Meier, and she then put the ball into the high corner of the goal, and it sailed into the back of the net, to put the match at its final of 2-0.
