Defenses controlled the first half with San Diego State’s (4-2-2) Rory Schank taking the only shot on goal of the opening 45 minutes at 32:24 but it was saved by Hawai’i (2-4-5) keeper Brianna Chirpich.
Kailey Carlen made the Aztecs’ first save of the match at the 55-minute mark on a shot by Amber Gilbert.
SDSU put pressure on the Rainbow Wahine late in the second half when Mia Hambro Svendsen and Emma Fuller both forced saves by second-half Hawai’i goalie Kennedy Justin in the 76th and 79th minutes, respectively.
