At Chapman Saturday, Pomona-Pitzer led, 2-0, at halftime after Danika Bethune's unassisted goal from 15 yards out just four minutes into the game. Abby Onderwyzer Gold scored in the 17th minute from 15 yards out on an assist from Alyssa Kim. 

In the second half, Chapman came out strong, scoring three straight goals to lead, 3-2, with just 10 minutes in regulation.
