This loss emphasizes what an impressive streak is the 50-year NC run. Anything can happen in a game.  Stanford had beaten Cal twice.  Cal had lost 7 matches; Stanford had lost only 1.

I haven't been able to watch the full game (available here) but I saw this ejection live. (It is at 1:07:19 in the replay)
Q4, 1:44 left.  Cal (white caps) has the ball.  Stanford is down by 2 goals.  Stanford had scored a quick goal just moments before and needed 2 more quickly.

If you've ever watched a WWP match, you've seen players lift their body out of the water to show the opponent has hold of their swimsuit.  That's what Jenna Flynn is doing here.  You see the arm of the opponent reaching out to Flynn.   You can see that Flynn's suit is pulled slightly (by the untanned skin).  If the official decides that a suit was pulled, the (Cal)      player is ejected and Stanford would get the ball.

The official (neither official is shown in the video so I can't see any signal) apparently makes a call of simulation (flopping) against Flynn.  She is ejected and the team is given a yellow card.

Simulation means an action taken by a player with
the apparent intent of causing a referee to award a foul incorrectly against an
opposing player. Upon the first act of simulation committed by a player of
each team, the referee will issue a simulation yellow card to that player’s entire
team.

Water polo may be the hardest sport to referee.
