Sophomore Carly Carpenter sandwiched her goal between two more Yost scores and held Hawaii to only two goals in the second period, by Chelsea Garner-Prohs and Stacy El-Hajj, for a 4-9 halftime deficit.

The teams traded penalty shots in the third quarter and finished the period with the score favoring Hawaii 14-5, with a Bronco goal by sophomore Kelley Mays.

Sophomore Becky Hong, a native Hawaiian, scored Santa Clara's final goal in the fourth quarter.

vanHoff, Andy Nishioka, and Rebecca Angus each recorded three goals for Hawaii, while Garner-Prohs, Christi Bardecki and Morrow added two apiece. Erin Kocher accounts for the Wahine's final tally.
