Cal State L.A. had a 33-6 advantage in shots, 19-5 in the first half and 14-1 in the second.

 

The Golden Eagles scored four goals in the first half with Segall opening the scoring with two goals in a five-minute span. She scored with assists from Amanda Matthews and Natalie Martin in the 13^th minute and added her second goal after a beautiful pass from Matthews that split the defense and found Segall in full stride.

 

Franco made it 3-0 in the 25^th minute when she knocked in the rebound of a hard shot by Conley and Conley scored in the 40^th minute after a nice pass from Franco that gave her the record.

 

Stuemper scored the first of her two goals in the 58^th minute with assists from Ayana Young and Tangorra and Tangorra scored her third goal of the season in the 72^nd minute with an assist from Conley.
