Less than a minute into the match sophomore Kacey Adams slipped a skip shot past ASU\u2019s Taylor Barret. The Sun Devils answered halfway through the period on a blast from sophomore Grace Morgan. Antal, who played for Hungary in the 2016 Rio Olympics, put Cal up again with at the 1:46 mark with ASU down a player. But the Sun Devils answered right back with a three-meter strike by Kayla Casas on their next possession.<\/p>\n<p>The two teams traded goals in a defensive-minded second period. Antal again put her team up by a goal, with another man-up strike, while ASU&#8217;s Alkistis Banakou scored three minutes later, knotting the match at 3-all going into halftime.<\/p>\n<p>At the break, Simmons, who took the helm of the storied Bears program last September after previous coach stints at Sonoma State University and with the U.S. Women&#8217;s National Team, exhorted her team to respond to the challenge.\u00a0 And they did. The Bears outscored the Sun Devils by two in a decisive third period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were a few runs in that game and that was one that put us in a position to control the second half,\u201d Simmons said.<\/p>\n<p>It was Cal&#8217;s play with on the man advantage that was the difference. Led by Antal&#8217;s three scores the Bears cashed in four times with an extra player. They took the lead for good early with two minutes gone in the third after ASU freshman Bente Rogge was whistled for an exclusion. Senior Genevieve Weed then scored from in front of the Sun Devil cage to put her team up 4-3. A minute later freshman Emma Wright put an emphatic finish on a breakaway, scoring past a diving Barret to give Cal a two goal lead.<\/p>\n<p>Halfway through the period ASU&#8217;s Rogge would atone for her exclusion with a power play goal of her own goal against Cal&#8217;s Trabucco. But another Wright tally at the 1:53 mark and a tip goal by sophomore Sarah Seipker a minute later gave the Bears a three-goal edge at 8-5.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_253368\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-253368\" data-attachment-id=\"253368\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mpsf-tournament-central-cal-knocks-off-asu-in-pivotal-quarterfinal-match\/mihailovic-asu\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/mihailovic-asu.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"300,168\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mihailovic-asu\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;mihailovic-asu&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;ASU&#8217;s Lena Mihailovic.
