I had Sunday morning obligations so was unable to watch, but from the recap it looks like Stanford held up well, losing only 8-12.
As a point of reference, of UNC's 15 other wins this season only 3 of them had goal differential of 4 goals or fewer: @ Syracuse, @ Clemson, vs Duke in the quarterfinals of this ACC tournament. The lone loss to Northwestern was by 1 goal in overtime. And the 12 goals scored by UNC is tied for the second-fewest they've scored all season.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
