UC San Diego vs. Arizona State University and University of Arizona
UCSD vs ASU
What a game! The weather was not on our side this weekend with the pouring rain and chilling wind. The Lady Tritons didn't let this get to them when faced up against the defending D1 regional champions, ASU. Starting out strong on the draw, Delainey Iles, Kayla Tracy, and Karli Adams started the game with 3 draw controls off the bat. ASU was able to hold off the Tritons on Attack and cause turnovers which got them ahead 2 at the half.
After half the Tritons were ready to come back to pull ahead of the Devils and Delainey scored making it a one-goal game. The possessions went back and forth with UCSD's Defense holding strong and getting multiple turnovers. However, the Devils were riding hard on the transitions and got the ball back. ASU put in one last goal and was able to hold the ball until the end of the game.
UCSD-ASU: 7-9
