The 'Eaters now have seven points out of nine in the first three Big West matches and two of them shutouts. UCI was out-shot in each half and in the entire match, 14-6, but made their shots count scoring twice.
- UCI's first goal came on a set piece with Lawson Willis setting up for a corner kick. Her knuckler hit Laila El Behery right in the middle of the six-yard box and in for a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute
- The second strike also came on a header from a corner kick. In the opposite corner of the pitch, Mihaela Perez set up and lofted a ball right onto Milan Heisdorf who put it home for a 2-0 lead in the 76th minute
- Heisdorf's goal is the first of her career giving her three points now through her first 11 matches
- El Behery now have four goals in as many games which include two game-winners in that span giving her three in her career
- Naylor saved six shots tying her high as an Anteater
- Her six shots are the fourth-most in her career spanning 42 matches, and its the most career saves in a shutout
- The biggest of the match came in the 30th minute as the Mustangs fired a shot toward the far post that Naylor needed a dive to knock away. Cal Poly gathered the rebound and shot across the goalmouth by Naylor that her defense cleared right to her for the seventh save of the match to keep things scoreless
- Assists on the night came from fifth-years Lawson Willis and Mihaela Perez
