The Tritons traveled up to play a tournament in Santa Barbara where they took on Colorado in their opening match. They controlled the ball incredibly well through the first 20 minutes, shooting passes back and forth until their first goal from freshman Luana Veras. This goal fired up the team even further, continuing their dominant play pattern against Colorado and leading to their second goal from team captain Mia Fava. Up 2-0, the Triton’s continued their onslaught with Jada Romero striking the ball flawlessly into the top back corner of the net, securing Colorado’s defeat. 

Although their first game was completely one sided, UC Davis started fast and physical in game two, putting lots of offensive pressure on UCSD. The Triton’s quickly adapted and fought back, taking control of the game in the later minutes. Despite both teams' efforts, the match ended in a stalemate with neither team scoring a goal, ending day one of the tournament.

UCSD took on Colorado a second time, this time in the semifinal of the tournament. They started off strong, controlling the ball and passing all around Colorado. Although they started well, an unfortunate foul gave Colorado a free kick, which they capitalized on, putting UCSD down 0-1 at the half. The Tritons put pressure on Colorado with multiple scoring attempts from the wings from Mia Fava and Elli Sandford, but Colorado held them off and scored another goal in the second half, leading them to a 2-0 victory over UCSD. Although the loss was disappointing, there were a lot of positive takeaways from the weekend.
