STOCKTON, Calif. - Sophomore Anne-Marie Keenan (Woodside, CA/Menlo School) scored the game-winning goal in the fourth quarter to lead No. 4 Stanford past co-No. 1 California 4-3 Sunday in the championship game of the Northern California Regional Qualifier at the University of the Pacific. Sophomore Hilary Gallogly (Orinda, CA/Miramonte) scored twice and sophomore Kris Koblik (Davis, CA/Davis) scored once for the Cardinal (22-5), which was one of four teams to earn an automatic bid to the national championships this weekend.
California (24-5) got two goals from Colette Glinkowski and one from Amy Buehler. The Golden Bears automatically qualify for nationals, as do San Jose State and UC Davis.
The Cardinal claimed a 3-1 lead in the first period, but the Bears tied it up with two fourth-period goals before Keenan scored the game-winner. Stanford is now 3-2 against California this season. Keenan, Koblik, freshman Margie Dingeldein (Merced, CA/Merced) and senior goalie Heather Crary (Atherton, CA/Menlo School) were named to the all-tournament first team for Stanford.
Stanford returns to action next week at the Collegiate Nationals, May 7-9 at UC Davis.
