GOALS
 
Pepperdine 61': Redshirt junior defender Kam Pickett (Santa Barbara, Calif./Dos Pueblos HS) tapped a left-footed pass to freshman forward Julia Quinonez (Torrance, Calif./Torrance HS) outside of the box. Although the Aztecs' defender looked to take the ball, Quinonez did a spin move around the defender to gain control. Quinonez then approached the line on the right side of the box and sent a right-footed rocket to the top left corner past the San Diego State keeper. This was Quinonez's first career goal and first goal of the season.
 
San Diego State 90': The Aztecs' Alexys Ocampo sent a right-footed pass to Dori Savage in the box. Savage then tapped the ball with her right foot on the run and found the back of the net.
