Won again today 2-0

That was a bigger win than some might realieze. Stanford had dropped out the top 25 and had a lousy RPI (due to a few fluke results for both Stanford and some of its opponents). A loss to Arizona State and then perhaps 1 or 2 losses to lesser P12 opponents and Stanford would have been in danger of being left out of the tournament altogether. Beating previously-undefeated Arizona State on the road gives this young team a little more breathing room (and bodes well for them in general).  No goal from Lumi, but nice to see Montoya get on the board again (this time with a wicked steal/strike) and also from Catherine Paulson, who has come back strong after her long injury.
