Oh, and the best college player in the country may have blown out her knee. Sullivan carried off the field 45 seconds into the second OT after going down clutching her knee. Before that, Stanford was pretty much dominating the run of play, though the Broncos may have had the best chance. After it, Stanford's midfield fell apart - passes directly to the other team, and a whole lot of heads down slow jogging back as the ball moved up field, rather than busting it to try to win it back.
The goal itself was a debacle, going through our right back as usual. Long high ball into the box, she jumps, and gets completely bodied off the ball, collapsing to the ground and leaving the Broncos player alone 12 yards in front of goal. Campbell had no chance.
Also have to say I didn't like Ratcliffe's game decisions - kept wondering why no substitutions when the the midfield was gassed. Davidson played all 108 minutes, Sullivan all 101 before she got hurt, and DiBiasi 101. Add Xiao at 88 minutes, and that's a lot of miles.
Sorry for the seniors.
