The guests doubled their lead, 2-0, in the 23rd minute when Alyssa Edwards connected on a ball from Christine Duarte.
Stan State cut the Toro lead in half in the 25th minute Sabrina Cabrera connected on her second goal for the season on a Jocelin Roa missed shot. Arionna Imhoff had a chance to tie the match at 2-2 for the Warriors with ten minutes left in the half, but Yuzon made another save.
