UCLA had led for most of the game, scoring the game's first goal in the 17th minute. Fishel's shot bounced off the left post, but Kaila Novak was there to one-time the rebound into the back of the net for her first collegiate goal.
Arizona State had several good scoring opportunities in the second half, they finally broke through in the 84th minute when a cross by Nguyen into the box deflected off a UCLA defender, hit the post, and went in for the equalizer.
