UCSD began the Triton Invitational with a matchup against Oregon. The Tritons started a little bit slow but quickly gained most of the possession over the tough Oregon side. Jordan Needham started off the scoring for the Tritons with a great shot from outside of the box. The rest of the half remained scoreless and after the first 40 minutes the Tritons had a 1-0 lead. The second half was all UCSD with more good goals from Mia Fava and Suhana Singh, and a great header goal from Jada Romero off of a Jordan Needham free kick. The Tritons finished the match with a strong 4-0 win over Oregon.

The Tritons faced CSU San Marcos in their second game of the tournament. UCSD dominated the match with early goals from Darya Abolmaali and Jess Madott. Mia Fava, Jada Romero, and Kirsten Whetstone added to the scoring later on. The Tritons connected really well and had many other goal scoring opportunities towards the end of the match. They finished with a 5-0 win going strong into the last day of the invitational. 

Early Sunday morning the Tritons faced a tough SDSU side in their third game of the tournament. With very rainy conditions, both teams struggled to maintain possession. SDSU got on the scoreboard first about halfway through the first half, but UCSD matched the score about 10 minutes later from a good finish from Jada Romero off of a Veronica Yonce cross. At halftime, the score was tied 1-1 which would remain the score for the rest of the match. Despite many close efforts from UCSD, the Tritons and Aztecs finished with a 1-1 draw.

UCSD was then scheduled to play Fullerton in their last game of the tournament. Unfortunately, Fullerton forfeited the match giving UCSD the automatic 2-0 win. With three wins and a draw, UCSD became the champions of the Triton Invitational! Coming off of a strong, winning weekend, the Tritons will face Long Beach at home on Saturday March 9th.
