STANFORD, Calif. - An Ellen Estes goal with :41 seconds remaining gave the Stanford women's water polo team a 7-6 win over UCLA to take the championship of the inaugural Stanford Invitational on Sunday at the Avery Aquatic Center.
UCLA tied the game at 6-6 with just over 3:00 minutes to play in the game when Anne Stachowski scored a 6-on-5 goal. The Cardinal came up big when Brenda Villa's steal stopped the Bruins with 1:02 left. Stanford called a timeout and set up a final play, leading to Estes' backhanded goal past UCLA goalkeeper Jaime Hipp.
Stanford jumped out to an early lead, scoring three goals in the first quarter on three Julie Gardner assists. Villa scored two of her four goals in the first while Kelly Shouey also tallied a goal in the first quarter.
The Bruins came back in the second quarter as Kelly Heuchan, Elaine Zivich and Stachowski all found the back of the net to even the score at 3-3 for halftime.
The third quarter saw the Cardinal extend its lead to 5-3 as Margie Dingeldein and Villa recorded goals, but the Bruins wouldn't let down. UCLA's Robin Beauregard fired a goal with :03 seconds left in the third, and tied the game at 5-5 less than a minute later. Stanford goalkeeper Jackie Frank was solid in the net, registering nine saves. Hipp had five for the Bruins.
The competitive match had 15 kickouts, 12 of which were Stanford's. The Cardinal lost two players for the game, Hilary Gallogly and Dingeldein, while Dani Bell and Shouey both had two ejections. UCLA had just three kickouts the entire game. The Bruins were 2-for-12 on power play opportunities.
