Kevin Serrano produced Whitman's only shot on goal of the second half, but UC Santa Cruz goalkeeper Tobias Jacobson-Bell made the save in the 81st minute.

The Blues created several late opportunities, earning corner kicks in the 81st and 87th minutes. Luis Mendez Caballero had a shot blocked in the 87th minute before Pablo Gonzalez Jr.'s attempt was also blocked moments later.

UC Santa Cruz finished with a 15-12 advantage in total shots and placed six shots on target. Isensee made six saves in the clean-sheet performance. Jacobson-Bell stopped both Whitman shots on target.
