The Aztecs have moved to the national semifinals, where they will play seventh-seeded Monroe College at 10 a.m. Friday. It marks the second straight season that coach Dave Cosgrove has advanced that far at the national tournament. 

Kametani opened up scoring with a free kick in the 11th minute, and Northwest Texas tied it with a penalty kick in the 36th minute. Pima retook the lead in the 48th minute, when Jacob Pacheco scored from inside the box. The lead didn't last; Northeast Texas tied it up again eight minutes later.
