BC--
Some good stuff. But one absolutely horrid offsides call against Stanford pulled what should've been the first goal out of the net. With the ball at about the penalty spot, an Anteater defender fell about one yard in front of his goalline. Stanford hit a through ball to Batteer on the back post and he tucked it home, standing directly in line with the defender who had just gotten to his feet. The assistant referee blew the call, because it looked like the lead official was going to give it.
Stanford dominated the early going, but Irvine got some good possession going midway through the first half, and things were much more even after that.
And I'm still unhappy that C.al got to play against a much weaker SIUE team; they advanced earlier 1-0, to face the winner of UCLA-University of San Diego, which kicks at 7 PT.
