Dumlao recorded the first shot on goal attempt by the Golden Eagles in the fourth minute, but the Gators' Emmanuel Jimenez recorded one of his three saves on the day.

The Gators had their first chance to take an 1-0 lead in the seventh minute, but Anthony Perez stopped Armando Flores' shot from going into the back of the net.  Nolan Parker had a chance to give the Gators the lead in the 10^th minute, but his attempt went wide right.

Cal State L.A. (8-2-, 5-2-1 CCAA) came down in the pitch in the 22^nd minute and Herbert Biste looked like he was going to give the guests the lead, but his shot hit the crossbar to keep the score tied at 0-0.  Seven minutes later, Daniel Totays saw his attempt to give the Gators a 1-0 lead off a cross from Ashley Watson go wide right.

With eight minutes left in the half, Max Talbert had a header off a corner kick by Totays be stopped by the Golden Eagle defense.  Then right after that Emmanuel Serranos' shot sailed high as the match went scoreless into the halftime.

In the 55^th minute, Robert Kelly had a chance to give the Gators the lead but Perez recorded one of his three saves.  One minute later, Jimenez stopped Miguel Galvan's attempt to give Cal State L.A. a 1-0 lead.

The Gators had a chance to tie the match at 1-1 in the 81^st minute, but Jake Nokes' shot attempt sailed wide left as the Golden Eagles held on for the 1-0 victory.
