Stanford loses vs Hawaii in OT. Stanford was down 2 at the half, and down 3 in the 3rd quarter before tying it up by the end of the 3rd quarter, and going ahead a minute into the 4th. But Hawaii scored again so regulation ended at 7-7.
Hawaii scored in the first OT. With 38 seconds in OT, with the ball after a timeout, Stanford's goalie's throw in got intercepted. Hawaii scored into an open goal for a final 9-7 win.
The Stanford goalie (Maya Avital) had 3 great point-blank saves late in regulation and into OT. She also stopped a penalty shot.
Neither team's power plays did much good. Hawaii was 2 of 15; Stanford 1 of 11. Stanford made its 2 penalty shots, while Hawaii's only penalty shot was blocked. 29 exclusions in 38 minutes of play time.
I felt Stanford's passing was not as good as I'm used to seeing. Too many overpasses, plus that final pass. It is hard for me to say whether or not our defense has fallen off. (By the end of the game, 3 Stanford players were out with 3 majors.)
I'm afraid I don't think the players Stanford has are going to bring home a national championship this year.
