Throughout the first half Ramos kept the Penguins in the match, as the Sunbirds (0-6-2, 0-0-2 PacWest) fired off 13 shots (5 on goal), compared to Dominican's lone shot of the half. In the 37^th minute FPU earned a corner kick from a blocked shot in the box, taken by Tori De Leon, sending a shot curving in around the front post but Ramos was there to make the save.
 
Later in the 39^th minute the Sunbirds came firing back once more as Nalani Wall beat her defender into the box and fired in a shot at goal. Ramos made a diving save, deflecting the ball back to Wall who quickly sent a second attempt at goal, but Ramos recovered to secure a second save and give Dominican possession. 
 
With a minute left in the first half, The Sunbirds earned another corner kick taken by De Leon, connecting with Jet Hardy for a shot within the box, but Hardy's header went high off the cross bar.

In the 84^th minute Rachel Anderson slipped by her defender and landed a shot at goal, but Ramos silenced the attack with yet another save. In the 86^th minute FPU earned a corner kick that would give them the opportunity to break the tie, but the Penguins were able to clear the attack and send the ball in the other direction.
 
The Sunbirds attacked to begin the first overtime period, as De Leon sent a shot toward the top right corner of the net, but Ramos quickly snuck in between the shot and goal to snatch another save. The attempt from De Leon was the only attack from either team in the first overtime, sending the game into double overtime.
