And per my 24-hour old memory, their best series of chances didn't generate an official shot on goal, as the Stanford defenders laid out to block the shots before they reached the keeper.  But you can't score if you don't have the ball, and Stanford didn't get much going at all for the first 45 minutes.

Thanks for the great analysis, as always, DC.  I remember the sequence of which you speak, which was a highlight of sorts in the first half; twice UCLA got pretty strong shots off, and twice a defender blocked it.  Seemed almost like hockey.
