The Golden Eagles' only goal of the game came early when Segall notched her second of the season. She received a cross from Janet Mendez outside the box and was able to hit a one-touch shot into the goal.
 
Even though they trailed, 1-0, the Broncos had their chances and Valerie Strawn, in particular, was hard to slow down. She had Cal Poly Pomona's best chance of the opening half when she took a shot that Walworth had to making a diving finger-tip save to keep out of the net.
 
The Broncos kept the pressure on in the second half and eventually tied it up. Jennifer Rivera got to a loose ball on the right side of the box and lofted a shot that settled into the net just inside the far post.
 
The Golden Eagles had a golden opportunity to end it in regulation, but a shot by Cari Gill off a corner kick was deflected by the leg of Miller and out of danger in the 86^th minute.
 
Miller made another outstanding save on a bid by Norie Pablo in the first overtime, while Cal Poly Pomona's Christina Carriaga made a strong run down the field and into the box before an onrushing Walworth was able to come out and smother the ball before it was shot.
