Friedman played a ball from the midfield ahead to Fujiwara, who took the pass at the top of the box off of one hop and chipped it past a charging goalkeeper for the score.
Goalkeeper Marcella Salyer went the full 90 and notched her first career shutout and win. She made five saves and is sporting a 1.10 goals against average and .810 save percentage. Jaqueline Catano made six saves in the loss for Dominican.
