I told you that I thought that Arizona State was going to make a leap forward this year. They are going to surprise a bunch of teams this year. They will be a tournament team and will play into the second round at least a potentially beyond.

Pep played toe to toe until they scored.
After that, it was great defense and goal play to hang on.
What a great win for Pepperdine.

Nelson is a flat out baller on defense, and has a great nose for the ball on corners.
Freshman keeper was fantastic as well.

Both players had the game of their life! I was super freaked when Freshman went down for the count tho!! Scary!!
 
Congrats to Pepperdine!
What a crazy game!!
Your defense and goalkeeper played seriously incredible ....Tim Ward had a plan, the girls stuck with it and it worked... they threw their bodies on the line for this game-- wanted it more.
For Stanford-- lessons learned to take into conference and make some positive changes (sometimes a kick in the pants is a good thing!)
Again-- congrats on a well fought game!

Watched the game in person and your description was spot on. Pepperdine put their whole heart and soul into the game and seemed to want it more. Stanford seemed uncharacteristically flat and error-prone. From the get-go they almost seemed burned out, hard to put my finger on it but their faces looked stressed versus confident. Not sure why the Stanford coach didn't try to shake things up by giving a couple of bench players a chance. Put in a player who is hungry for playing time. Look at how the Freshman keeper stepped up for Pepperdine. Instead, he stayed with the same formula and line-up that simply wasn't working. 9 times of of 10 (99 out of a 100) that line-up is fantastic, but when it isn't you need to make changes.
 
Pepperdine amazing incredible win over a stacked stanford team.

I'm afraid it's still not enough and will have to win league. Loss to Cal Poly will haunt them especially after today.
 
Interesting day: Stanford gets beat by Pepperdine, Arizona gets boat raced by Santa Clara, WSU loses to Michigan, Oregon draws with Portland, USC needs overtime with Seattle, amongst other wacky scores... shows the ol’ “You gotta play the game” adage is alive and well and further, that we may be in for one wild ride this year across the soccer landscape.

Very Impressive heart and defensive execution today by Pepperdine.

Pepperdine players definitely wanted it more. They were throwing their bodies in front of the goal to block shots and how rewarding that they got the W for it.
I thought Stanford bench players were very average and didn’t add much. They did switch to 3 in the back the last 20-25 and pushed more numbers forward so you can’t say they didn’t do anything to change. At one point Stanford player blocked their own shot off of CK that looked like was going in. You know it’s not your day when that happens.
Great win for Pepp!!!
