Cal's lone score came in the last six minutes of the game, when sophomore forward Andrea Lo connected off a pass from senior forward Valentina Godfrid.

"I thought we competed really well," head coach Shellie Onstead said after the loss. "We had our chances to stay in the game, but they did a better job of finishing."
