February 17, 2018 (Newport Coast, Calif.) - T-No. 14 San Diego State, which earlier in the day defeated Concordia in its Golden Coast opener, completed its trip to Orange County with a 13-6 exhibition win over the University of Toronto at Sage Hill School in Newport Coast.
SDSU, which did not suit up a single senior, let the underclassmen get some work in against a Varsity Blues team that had faced four Division I teams this season. The score was tied, 3-3, after one period with San Diego State moving out in front, 7-3, by halftime after a dominating 4-0 second quarter.
Toronto closed the gap with a 2-1 third period, but the Aztecs still found themselves ahead, 8-5, as the game moved to the final eight minutes. It was in the last frame that SDSU put any thoughts of a comeback to rest as it outscored the Varsity Blues, 5-1, to coast to the victory.
Isabella Solis led the Aztecs with three goals, while Karli Canale and Maddy Parenteau each contributed two goals. In net were Emily Lowell and Mia Harris, who both made three saves.
