Sohi put Stanford two goals clear at 4:15 when she worked her way in front of the cage. Despite mishandling her first attempt with her right, Sohi continued to work and used a wrist flick with her left to sail the ball up and over USC's Amanda Longan.

The Cardinal jumped on the Trojans early courtesy of two first-quarter goals from Sohi. Dani Jackovich drew an exclusion on Ioanna Haralabidis at 5:23. Right after the sides came even, Stanford's senior captain fired one home with 4:57 on the clock.
