Stanford men’s soccer (9-6-3) may not make it into the NCAA tournament with last night’s win, but at least the seniors can be satisfied that they beat No. 5 ranked Cal in overtime on their Senior Night.

Going into halftime Stanford led 1-0 due to a goal by junior forward Zach Batteer in the 19th minute of the first half. Stanford had outshot the Golden Bears 11-1, with five shots on goal to Cal’s zero.

Cal then came alive in the second half, scoring in the 57th minute. Cal’s senior Alec Sundley tied the game at 1-1 on a penalty kick.

With 10:40 left Stanford came through with a huge save after Cal had two opportunities to score. Cal was on the attack, keeping the Card on its heels — a sharp comparison to the first half, which was dominated by Stanford.

Stanford finally had the opportunity to score with a minute left, controlling possession of the ball for the remainder of regulation time, but couldn’t come through and sent the game into overtime.

Just 1:14 into overtime, sophomore midfielder Aaron Kovar scored the game-winning goal.

Stanford now has a slight chance to make into postseason play and will now just have to wait to hear its fate.
