Card knocks off No.11 Santa Clara

   

Moving up from defender to start the second half at forward, freshman Lizzie Boamah scored her first career goal to hand No. 1 Stanford (8-0) a 1-0 shutout victory over No. 11 Santa Clara (6-2) from Stevens Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The goal, which came in the 55th minute, was keyed by the play of freshman Charlotte Kohler. The native of Woodside, Calif. stole the ball from a Santa Clara defender and played a pass through the Broncos’ back line where Boamah won a 50-50 ball and slotted her shot past a charging Marlee Nicolos in goal for Santa Clara.
