Moments later, the Vaqueros went on the attack. Freshman Daniela Cantu came streaking up the left sideline, waited out two defenders at the top of the box, and then fired top shelf to make it 3-0.
 
Sophomore Allyson Smith had a strong game controlling the midfield, helping to limit the Islanders' offensive opportunities.
 
Junior Maria Eriksen made two saves for the shutout.
