Stanford wins soccer title

-

Stanford midfielder Jaye Boissiere scored the winner in the 67th minute as the Cardinal claimed its second NCAA women’s soccer title with a 3-2 win over UCLA on Sunday in Orlando, Fla.

Boissiere’s left-footed shot from 25 yards supplement­ed first-half goals from Kyra Carusa and Andi Sullivan to give Stanford its 23rd straight win this season and first title since 2011. The Cardinal dominated possession for much of the game, outshootin­g UCLA, 15-5.

UCLA (19-3-3) rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game on second-half goals from Jessie Fleming and Delanie Sheehan. However, Boissiere’s shot curled just inside the far post, and UCLA was unable to find an equalizer.
