Kelli-Anne Chang also scored for the Rainbow Wahine (4-2-1).
Sarah Vallen scored in the 78th minute to give Northern Arizona (2-4) a 1-0 lead.
Chang scored four minutes later after Kristen Oshiro pushed the ball to Fukuroku, who sent a cross to the middle to an uncontested Chang. She fired a 10-yard shot into the right side of the net for her team-leading third goal of the season.
Ambree Ako set up the game-winner, attacking the defense before slipping the ball to the right side of the box. Fukuroku took a few dribbles before taking a shot that bounced off the inside of the far post and into the goal.
