Adrienne Sorenson was credited with an assist on Mathews's goal. It was Mathews' second goal and Sorenson's team-leading fifth assist of the season.
"
The goal was a tremendous combination play between Adrienne and Rachel," CSUS head coach Gabe Bolton said. "Playing together and to our strengths as a team is something we have been working on. It was great to see it result in such a beautiful goal."

"Jess really came up big in overtime. She made some outstanding saves."

As a team we feel like we should have won the game but anytime you get points on the road it is an accomplishment. LA is a very good team," Bolton added.
