The two sides split the final three goals of the first quarter as senior captains Arino Ruiz and Yanah Gerber twice gave the Lions a 6-4 lead.
A second quarter penalty goal by Carolina Magano gave LMU a 7-4 advantage. After San Diego State pulled back within two Gerber scored her third of the game to give LMU a 8-5 lead heading into the half.
The Aztecs scored the first three goals of the second half to tie the score at 8-all, forcing an LMU timeout. The Lions responded with the final three goals of the third as again Arino Ruiz scored one and Gerber added two more to bring the lead back to three.
Less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, Gerber scored her sixth and seventh goals of the game to push the Lions ahead 13-9. Mikayla Lopez, Skye Nankervis, and Lily Larson pushed the lead to seven in the final two minutes of the game. San Diego State scored one late to give the Lions a 16-10 lead and a return to the Championship Game.
