UCSD dominated the majority of the game, thanks to getting 3 quick goals to take an early lead against USD. Throughout the battle in the second period the score remained the same. The third period was where the fun began when USD fought hard to come back, and almost tied it up. UCSD was leading 5-4 when USD's #86 was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. UCSD then scored another goal to win the game at 6-4.
