The game tonight is going well, with Andrea Kitahata lofting a shot over the outstretched arm of the Santa Clara keeper into the far upper corner of the net for a 1-0 lead after the first half.

Wins for WSOC, WVB, and the 49ers. Not a bad weekend except for one bad loss--the double overtime loss in field hockey.
No one else was playing, were they?

WSU seems to be keeping the ball in front of the Stanford goal more than I would like to see--perhaps more than Santa Clara managed. And WSU has had a few shots, but not very accurate ones. Still, this does not look as lopsided as a Stanford fan would like to see.
The 1-0 lead holds up to the end of the first half. But WSU looks more dangerous than more highly ranked Santa Clara to my untrained eye. They have had more possession and more shots, to be sure, including one on a breakaway 1-on-goalkeeper opportunity that Campbell deflected and then covered up. Stanford does not look dominant.
The 1-0 lead holds up to the end of the game. WSU seemed to me to out-possess us, and out shot us 10-8, although we out shot them with shots on goal 4-2. Mia Bhuta had her first collegiate goal to give us the win.
I'm not sure why, but rather than creating long possessions with lots of short passes and triangles, in this game we attempted many long forward passes that wound up being 50/50 balls at best. It did not seem all that effective to me, and it allowed WSU a lot of opportunities. While many WSU shots were very inaccurate, there were a couple that could easily have been our undoing, but Campbell played them all correctly.
