Ubogagu is going to be a superstar...soon. Too bad there's no left back to overlap with her.

Wow -- those last five minutes were really nerve-wracking. I'm never comfortable with a one-goal lead, because all it takes is one fluke play for the game to be tied. And it was clear that we were playing to run out the clock, not playing to extend the lead. But it worked.
Congrats to the whole team for a fantastic season!

WiM--
Add Zurmuhlen to the woman of the match list. Just tireless, and the best "workrate" of any of our midfielders: chasing down everything, getting her body in on lots of challenges.
Hing-Glover was definitely the weak link on the field, but she's playing because of the season-ending knee injury to Courtney Verloo, who was anticipated to move back in front from the center back this year. Verloo suffered that injury 3 days before the first match (which was one reason why our early season roadtrip had the only blemish on the record). The other weak link, and the one that could've cost us the match, was Kendall Romine, the other center back with Alina Garciamendez. She had some nice play today, but she can be counted on for one bone-headed play a game; in this case, the horrendous touch back that led to her making a desperation tackle that could've easily led to a PK. She got the ball cleanly, and it was less of a foul than the one of Chi, but still...
One of the best things about this match? Stanford won without a great individual game from any of their attackers.
More after a bit of processing...

An extra special congratulations to the 4 seniors - Camille Levin, Teresa Noyola, Lindsay Taylor and Kristy Zurmuhlen. Their experience and leadership really showed in the quarters, semis and the final.
Kudos also to the webmaster for gostanford.com. Within 10 minutes, they had replaced the Andrew Luck for Voldemort front page with a page congratulating the national champion women's soccer team.

Oh, and WiM, we have two of the best defender recruits in the country coming in next year, Laura Liedle and Maya Theuer, rated respectively the #3 and #6 recruits in the country. Liedle decommitted from UNC and decided on Stanford late. They both play for the same club team, the San Diego Surf, who I think won the club championship this year.Â
But Quon is one of the best left backs in the country, and returns for one more year.
Oh, and the recruiting class next year? 6 of the top 80 recruits in the country.

Unsung and little-noticed game-saving play:
Romine gets caught in space too far in front of the goal as the cross is played in from the left corner in the last 20 minutes. Garciamendez matched up with one forward at the near post. The cross gets over her to Weinberg, I believe, standing dead center inside the crease. She volleys and the ball flies over the bar. Then complains that she should've drawn a corner. And she was right - Quon had tracked in and got a foot in front of the volley as it left her foot. I didn't think a really good striker would've missed it that badly.

Good for the team.
NCAA Team Title #1 for the soccer program.
Stanford NCAA Team Title #102.
Keeps the precious at least one NCAA Title per academic year streak alive.
Adds to the list of programs with at least one NCAA Team Title at Stanford.
Almost assures that Stanford will have the Directors' Cup lead.
Oh, and hey, this just in from ESPN. Stanford gets 60 points in the worthless credit card cup. Gee, ummm, thanks, I guess.
