COD (4-3) had a strong defense all game and all of their goals in the second half, as Ashley Murguia converted a penalty kick in the 84th minute to secure a road win at the Compton Tartars (2-1-1), 2-1.

Compton would open up the scoring in the 74th minute and the Roadrunners would equalize in the 78th minute on a goal by sophomore midfielder Ashley Murguia (Indio H.S.), tying the game at 1-1.

In the 84th minute, Desert was awarded a penalty kick and Murguia put the game winner in the back of the net, giving the Roadrunners a 2-1 win on the road.

Freshman goal keeper Jessica Uribe (Indio Shadow Hills) faced ten total shots, eight on goal, making seven saves in the win.
