That forced Perez to play with just three defenders, a risky move against Long Beach's quick-strike offense.

And the move seemed to work. Pierce controlled the run of play for much of the second half and finally tied the game in the 85th minute on a goal from Walberg.

Pierce scored on its first three PKs - goals from Walberg, Elia Petrosian and Tootsa Coghlan - and led 3-1, needing just one more score to earn the victory.

That's when Long Beach co-coach Alex Camargo pulled starting goalie Sarah Phillips - who was light-headed after a second-half collision - and put in midfielder Brittany Jensen. The 5-foot-11 sophomore stopped shots by Krystal Bernal and Monique Gaxiola and watched a shot by Lindsey Liggeria sail high and wide to the right.

The Vikings then secured the victory with consecutive goals by Shaneka Gordon, Christina Graham and Mallory Olloque.

``That's what a winning team does,'' Perez said of Long Beach. ``It doesn't die.''
