After intermission, CSUN returned ready to keep its momentum going. The Matadors scored early into the second half when Kaylee Gutierrez sent the ball into the net with a shot to the low left. Erin Anderson and Sami Kolin assisted Gutierrez on the goal, which came off a corner kick. Reyes would join the scoring parade in the 55th minute when she followed her own shot with a header in front of the goal. CSUN's defense held firm down the stretch, completing the shutout. The Roadrunners had seven shots in the second half but just one on goal as Mauldin picked up her only save in the 72nd minute.

"I'm so proud of this group. They've never stopped believing, and obviously we've been struggling, but today everything came together. We were solid defensively, and the attack was good, we finished our opportunities. I would have liked to have possessed the ball a little bit more if I were to be very critical of them, but tonight, I don't think it's a night to be critical. We need to celebrate this win, celebrate this moment, and just continue to build."
