Upsets were at a minimum during the opening round of the women’s Division I NCAA Tournament.

The Titans jumped out to a 2-0 lead, before the Trojans roared back through Morgan Andrews’ pair of goals. Fullerton took the lead again, but Andrews finished off the hat trick to tie the game at 3-3. USC eventually managed to win on penalties, and remain at No. 19 in the rankings.
Upsets from the first round included UNC Wilmington’s 2-0 defeat of South Carolina, Loyola Marymount beating California 1-0 and Florida Gulf Coast(w) winning 2-1 over in-state counterparts South Florida. The Eagles jumped into the Top 25 at No. 24.
