Yes, But

UC San Diego held Utah Valley to a draw earlier this season, but the Wolverines dominated the shot count, 31-13. Triton goalkeeper Charlotte Wilfert made a program-record 15 saves in that match, a performance the defense may need to draw on again.

The winner claims the Big West title and advances to the NCAA Championship. UC San Diego is aiming to turn its postseason breakthrough into the program’s first conference championship, while Utah Valley looks to complete its own historic run.

Bottom Line

This is a first-time championship matchup between two teams arriving with momentum—and a rematch shaped by a dramatic regular-season draw. The title and NCAA berth are on the line Saturday.
