Tempe, Ariz. - Two goals in the second half propelled the 16th-ranked Stanford women's soccer team to a 3-2 victory over Arizona State today in Tempe, Ariz. The victory extends Stanford's win streak to seven games, improving their record to 11-3 overall and 4-0 in the Pac-10. Arizona State falls to 8-5 and 2-3 in the Pac-10 with the loss.
After falling behind in the 23rd minute, Stanford rallied to tie the match on senior Ronnie Fair's (Los Altos, Calif.) 20-yard free-kick in the 33rd minute.
The Cardinal fell behind again in the second half, but rebounded to score two goals in the final eight minutes of play for the win. Senior Kelly Adamson (Simi Valley, Calif.) scored the tying goal in the 73rd minute to set up freshman Kelsey Carlson's (Citrus Heights, Calif.) game-winner one minute later.
