It was a similar narrow victory for No. 2UCLA, which edged Long Beach State by a 1-0 score, as Mia Fishel's long strike stood up as the game-winning goal.

Perhaps most impressive was No. 4 Stanford's performance. Catarina Macario scored twice in a top-six title with Penn State, leading the Cardinal to a 2-1 win on the road. Facing West Virginia on Sunday, the Cardinal offense clicked once again, as they beat the Mountaineers by a 3-1 score.
