Milan Moses looked to breakthrough for the Toreros in the 16th minute with a shot off her left foot. Moses led the way on offense with two shots, one on goal on the afternoon.

The second 45 began with a quick goal by Santa Clara's Kelcie Hedge, who slid a shot past an advancing Amber Michel 28 seconds into the half. The first goal of the match gave way to five more as the Broncos capitalized on a shift in momentum, creating a 17-2 advantage on shots.
