On UCLA's second goal, it appears to me on replays that Caruso headed it first, but not cleanly (not up enough) and it went right into the UCLA player's head which was 1 foot away, which it bounced off of (without any time for her to intentionally direct it) and went into the goal. So fairly lucky for UCLA that it happened to go into the net. I wasn't paying attention to Jahansouz's play, but it seems to me she has to deny the near post on that play which happened outside that post. After the initial header went over to the other side of the goal, maybe one of our defenders should have stuck to the far post in anticipation of a header going there?
My take on the subs is that they absolutely should be going full tilt for the minutes they were in there. That is the advantage they bring when they come in. They are in prime fitness and should be able to play at full effort for 5-20 minutes, knowing they don't have to play anywhere near a full game.
Addendum: Stanford W Soccer tweeted that Carusa cleared the ball directly onto the UCLA player's head and into the goal:
59' | UCLA equalizes off a deflected corner. Carusa cleared it straight off a Bruin and into the Stanford net. 2-2. #GoStanford
