Nine Score as Stanford Blows Out Ohio State
from press release
COLUMBUS, Ohio - No. 9 Stanford stayed
unbeaten, routing Ohio State, 17-5, on Saturday afternoon at the
indoor turf of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Stanford used an
early first-half burst to cruise to the victory.
Stanford scored just 30 seconds into the game on a free-position
shot from Leslie Foard. Moments later Emilie Boeri scored an
unassisted goal and the Cardinal were off and running. Foard would
end up with a hat trick for the game, while Boeri had four goals
and an assist.
The Buckeyes would get a goal to make it 2-1, but then Stanford
scored nine consecutive goals to blow the game open. Anna Boeri,
Nina Swanson, Sarah Flynn, Anna Kim and Carolyn Bradley joined
Foard and Boeri with goals during the big Stanford run.
Stanford took a 12-2 lead to halftime as the stunned Buckeyes had
no answer all day. The Cardinal only outshot Ohio State 19-14 for
the half, but was on target more often than not. Meanwhile, Annie
Read made five first-half saves and 10 for the game, thwarting the
Ohio State shots that were on goal.
Stanford built its lead to 16-3 in the second half as the running
clock rule was put into effect. Along with Foard and Boeri, Flynn,
Bradley and Anna Boeri had multiple-goal games, while Anna Boeri
also had two assists, pushing her team lead to seven. Overall,
there were nine Cardinal goal-scorers as Stanford continues to win
with balanced scoring.
The Cardinal will be right back at it on Sunday when it will play
Canisius in a neutral site game in Columbus. The opening draw is
set for noon in Columbus or 9am, PST.
