The Buffs grabbed seven saves (five by Annie Brunner) as the teams each took 12 shots and forced a scoreless game into double overtime. In the 108th minute, Lizzy Herzl hit the game-winner to put the Buffs up 1-0. The Buffs struggled in their first season of Pac-12 play, falling 8-0 at Prentup, their largest margin of defeat to date in the Pac-12.
