An exciting game. The refs weren’t calling many ejections. As a result, it was a rather defensive game. Stanford misses (not blocks) on two 5-meter shots while UCLA missed one.
One UCLA player made at least 2 goals after what were two obvious push offs to get space.
Stanford had their chances to win it in regulation but missed on 3 shots in about 5 seconds.
The streaming announcer (UCla’s) seemed like he was enamored with the UCLA goalie. Also, he kept talking about UCla’s undefeated streak at home this year but never mentioned Stanford’s undefeated streak against UCla this year. Again, he never mentioned the importance of this game in terms of the NCAA tournament.
Cal squeaked past Usc in the 3rd place game.
I’m not sure how seeding will go for 5-loss Ucla, 5-loss Cal, 4-loss USC. One of those teams may not make the NCAA tourney Stanford has only lost once, so I’d guess USC might get seeded #2. If it were my opinion, I’d leave Ucla out
