The Tritons faced a strong UCI team in their first game on Saturday. Both teams had early chances but Veronica Yonce got the Tritons on the board with a great finish off of a Suhana Singh cross. UCI quickly countered making it 1-1 just before the half. The second half was competitive with both sides close to scoring, but UCSD broke the tie from a header by Darya Abolmaali off of a Mia Fava corner kick making the final score 2-1 Tritons.
In very rainy conditions, the Tritons took on San Marcos playing only one half because of the weather. UCSD came out strong and Suhana Singh had a well placed goal off a ball from Mia Fava. Darya Abolmaali added to her great weekend of scoring with a good shot after beating a few defenders. The game ended at halftime with a 2-0 win for the Tritons.
After 3 solid wins, UCSD qualified for the semifinals early on Sunday. Because of bad field conditions due to the rain, the semifinal and final games of the tournament were canceled. The qualifying teams will wait to see whether or not these games will be rescheduled.
