IRVINE, Calif. - The University of San Diego women's soccer team (1-4-2) dropped a 2-1 decision to UC Irvine (3-4-0) Friday evening in a non-conference match at the Anteater Recreation Field.

San Diego then hit the equalizer just 11 minutes later, as at the 21:53 mark, Mia Costa was able to re direct a corner kick from Mariah Butera, with a header into the back of the net to move the score to 1-1.

The Anteaters then regained the lead in the 63rd minute of action, as Laura McGrail redirected a pass from Robles, to put the match at its final of 2-1.
