Sophomores Dynalee Huerta, Samantha Godinho, Francesca Vargas, Cameron Schween, Keylee Burke, Angelica Espinoza, Taylor Marquez, and Kortney Molle all were honored in the pre-game festivities. Coach Jen Spalding gave the nod to her veterans, as they started and played the majority of the match as a group.

Freshman Lauren Olivier scored a hat trick, netting 3 goals, dishing 2 assists, notching a steal and drawing an exclusion. Angelica Espinoza rounded out the scoring for the Owls with 2 goals.
