The Stanford Women’s Soccer team had a big win this past weekend, defeating Washington State University 3-0. The Cardinal dominated the match from start to finish, with goals from senior midfielder Tierna Davidson, freshman forward Catarina Macario, and sophomore forward Sophia Smith.
Davidson opened the scoring in the first half, with a powerful strike from outside the box that flew into the top corner of the goal. Macario then doubled the lead in the second half, with a well-placed shot from inside the box. Smith then sealed the victory for Stanford in the dying minutes of the match, with a composed finish from close range.
The victory was a huge boost for Stanford, who have had a difficult season so far. The team has been struggling to find their form, but this result will give them a much-needed confidence boost.
The win was also a big moment for Davidson, who scored her first goal of the season. The senior has been a key player for Stanford over the past few years, and her goal will be a huge boost for her confidence going forward.
Washington State had their chances throughout the match, but they were unable to find the back of the net. The Cougars have had a difficult season so far, and this result will be a tough pill to swallow.
Overall, it was a great performance from Stanford, who are now looking to build on this result and finish the season strongly. With a few more wins, they could still make it to the playoffs and make some noise in the post-season.
