Senior Antoinette Brou led the midfield pressure with 3 caused turnovers and 3 ground ball controls. The Bruins held the Tritons scoreless until the 49th minute of the game, managing an 18-0 lead with less than 12 minutes left on the clock. In addition, UCLA won 15 of 23 draw controls. Senior Captain Morgan Oberstein (5 G, 1 A) and Sophomore Courtney Randall (3 G, 3 A) controlled the Bruins' offense with six points each. Seven other Bruins also got on the board, including WCLA All-American Allie Simpson (3 G, 2 A). Michelle Rice and Isabel Angell, both senior captains, kept the Bruins composed and in control on defense with a combined 3 caused turnovers, 4 ground ball controls, and zero fouls. Meanwhile, goalie Devon Comito had a standout game, saving 10 of UCSD's 12 shots on goal to start her season save percentage at an all time high.
