The Bulldogs opened scoring in the 16th minute. Castain took a pass from Boynton past a defender and sent the shot in low across Sac State's goalkeeper, Savannah Abercrombie. The goal marked Castain's fourth this season, third in the last two matches.

Ten minutes later, Hancock closed out scoring on a long pass from Lindstrom. After shaking her defender inside the box, Hancock chipped it in over Abercrombie for her third goal of the season,

Fresno State (3-2-1) outshot the Hornets 16-12, eight to four on goal. The Bulldogs finished with a season high nine corner kicks to Sac State's one. Abercrombie tallied a game-high six saves for Sac State (1-5-0).
