The Dons took the lead on a combination started by senior Matt Languis. Languis looped a free kick into the penalty box where Bergman headed the ball to Attar who scored from close range at 32:28.
The Dons scored the insurance goal at 79:51 when Aaron Chandler passed the ball to a streaking Bergman who beat Stanford goalkeeper John Moore in a one-on-one situation.
Galen Thompson led the Cardinal with three shots on the night including one on goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
