SJU's Vaila Barsley opened the scoring six minutes before halftime, heading home a corner kick from Courtnery Lane. USC tied the game up early in the second half, on a Megan Ohai penalty kick, but the visitors scored the eventual gamewinner in the 77th minute. Courtney Curby assisted on the GWG with a pass from the right side, with Raelynn Lee then scoring inside the right post for the 2-1 lead.
