CSU-Pueblo added a second goal four minutes later off the foot of Laikyn Koss (Sr., Riverside, Calif.), her team leading seventh goal of the season. Karley Whiteman (So., Alta Loma, Calif.) was credited with the dime on the play.
The Pack defense buckled down the rest of the way, allowing the Mavericks only two shots in the first period followed by just one shot attempt in the second half.
Sandra Grimaldo (Sr., Mammoth Lakes, Calif.) led the Pack attack with four shots in the game.
CSU-Pueblo goalkeeper Alison Darr (Sr., Placerville, Calif.) made two saves picking up the win at the net.
