Colorado State 10, Sonoma State 8

Neither Colorado State or Sonoma State would lead by more than a goal for much of the match and it was the Seawolves who led 6-5 with four minutes remaining in the third period. However, the Rams scored two goals in the final minute of the third frame and two more in the first two minutes of the fourth to take a 9-6 lead.

Jessica Stansfield would score two consecutive goals to put the Seawolves down just one point at 9-8, but a score by Natalie Berge late in regulation would cap the 10-8 victory for Colorado State.

Stansfield, Bridgette Souza and Laura Kunz scored two goals apiece for Sonoma State while Taylor Basso made four saves in the cage.
