UC San Diego scored the game’s only goal on a header by Ellen Wilson in the 15^th minute following an excellent corner kick by Hayley Johnson.  The Seasiders had only a few scoring opportunities against the tough Triton defense, most of them coming in the second half, but failed to get a shot on goal in the game.

UC San Diego will move on to play Seattle Pacific in the next round of the tournament.
