Stanford answered with four straight goals, each from a different player, eventually pushing its run to 6-1 to end the half with an 8-3 advantage.
Strong defense and efficiency in transition was again the name of the game for the Cardinal, as Stanford pushed the Spartans far away from the cage on its attacking side, oftentimes earning a steal and runout the other way. The Cardinal was able to insert three different goalies in the game and was an even .500 in its shot percentage.
