Stanford women advance to College Cup with overtime win over Nebraska
STANFORD — Giving up the tying goal with three minutes left in the second half of an NCAA quarterfinal may have deflated some teams. But it seemed only to inspire the second-seeded Stanford women’s soccer team.
The Cardinal scored four minutes into overtime to beat No. 5 Nebraska 2-1 on Friday at Cagan Stadium and advance to their first College Cup since 2019.
“I was proud of the character because to concede with three minutes left before you go to the College Cup, that’s kind of devastating,” Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said. “They dealt with it well and they kept fighting and they got a great goal to win the game.”
Nebraska (17-4-3) ended Stanford’s streak of 470 minutes without allowing a goal when it tied the game with 3:01 remaining in regulation. Goalkeeper Ryan Campbell came out to contest a long pass into the box, but Cornhuskers forward Sarah Weber got to the ball first and headed it into the net.
“Obviously wasn’t the most ideal situation, but we knew that we had the resilience, we had the fight, we had the grit to keep going,” defender Kennedy Wesley said. “That definitely wasn’t going to define our season. We weren’t going to let it end that way.”
It was only the 10th goal Stanford (19-0-4) had allowed all season, but the Cardinal needed just seven minutes of game time to respond. Allie Montoyo’s near-post cross was backheeled by Pac-12 Midfielder of the Year Jasmine Aikey into the path of Maya Doms, who tapped the ball into the open net with 5:49 remaining in the first overtime.
It was the fourth goal in the last six matches for Doms, a fifth-year midfielder from Davis.
“I thought we dominated the whole game and it was unfortunate to get scored on in the last five minutes,” Doms said. “But we knew we weren’t going to end our season on our home field.”
The Cardinal are unbeaten in 29 straight home games and haven’t lost in 35 matches overall.
Stanford will now face No. 1 BYU n the College Cup next Friday in Cary, N.C. BYU defeated No. 3 North Carolina 4-3 late Friday night.
The quarterfinal provided an intriguing matchup between Stanford, which has allowed 0.42 goals a game, and Nebraska, which scored 11 times in the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
The Cardinal contained Eleanor Dale, who leads the country in goals (28) and shots per game (6.0) but was held to three shots Friday by a defense that focused on denying her the ball.
Stanford got the early lead on an own goal in the 11th minute. Montoya’s cross was headed back across the Nebraska box by Andrea Kithata. Joelle Jung, a freshman from Lynbrook High in San Jose, poked the ball toward the goal, and it was kicked in by a Cornhuskers defender.
Despite playing with the lead, Stanford controlled play and allowed only one shot on goal until Nebraska’s equalizer.
“Everyone’s playing like it’s their last game, so things like that are bound to happen, but we’re lucky enough that we have the personnel to know how to respond,” Wesley said.
After missing the College Cup for the last three seasons, Stanford is now back for the first time since it won its third national championship.
“At Stanford, we’re the home of champions,” said Wesley, a freshman in 2019. “We pride ourselves in making those championship games, and to not have done that the past few years, it’s definitely been short of our expectations. But we knew we could get back to the Stanford Way, and we’re super blessed and honored that we get to do it again.”
ELKHORN, Neb. (WOWT) – There’s no shortage of damage, debris, or uncertainty in the Elkhorn neighborhood of Ramblewood.
“All of us homeowners are like where to start, what can I get, who can help me?” said Zoe Sorando.
From the sidewalk, Sorando’s home may look like it’s all there, but the inside maps a much more challenging path for her and her family. She’s had inspectors, engineers, and electricians come and go.
“They are trying to help, but having a lot of people you don’t understand what they are doing, it is overwhelming,” she said.
Thankfully, she says, these two women with FEMA took the time to help her understand their purpose.
“For them coming house to house and offering the services, it is like very helpful,” said Sorando.
FEMA teams are speaking with homeowners and renters, encouraging them to apply with them or online. The federal agency often provides money for needs not covered by insurance, like home repairs or paying for a place to live.
“We’re working with every household on a case-by-case basis,” said John Mills, a FEMA spokesperson. “We want to hear from people about what their needs are and make you eligible for as much as we possibly can.”
They’re also leaving flyers. For Sorando, this response helps calm the chaos she’s experiencing now: “I’m looking forward to follow up and see what else they can do for me.”
She made it through 2017′s deadly hurricane while living in Puerto Rico. Now she can add 2024′s tornado outbreak to this list.
“I was a survivor of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. And FEMA is not…I mean they’re not out there like this,” said Sorando.
With FEMA’s arrival, it warns residents about potential fraud. They said “FEMA employees do not ask for money – or accept money – from disaster survivors. FEMA staff never charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help with registration.”

Nebraska baseball remained in the hunt for a Big Ten Conference title with a series victory at Minnesota this weekend.
The Huskers topped the Gophers in the first two games but dropped dropped Sunday’s finale. NU is now 30-16 on the season, including 12-6 in the Big Ten. That puts the Huskers in a three-way tie for second place behind Illinois, which leads the league at 13-5.
Minnesota is now 21-21 with a league record of 7-11.
Nebraska won a relatively high-scoring affair Friday night, thanks in part to Dylan Carey’s two-run home run in the seventh inning. That gave NU a lead that wouldn’t be given back as the Huskers won 10-7.
The series was clinched Saturday with a 7-3 Husker victory. Joshua Overbeek had a 3-for-5 day with a homer, three RBIs and two runs. Josh Caron had three hits and an RBI, while Dylan Carey was 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.
Sunday’s finale saw NU come up short of the sweep, with Minnesota scoring a pair of runs in the first inning and never relinquishing the lead en route to the 6-2 final.
Nebraska returns home to host South Dakota State for a single game Wednesday before a three-game weekend series in Lincoln against Indiana. The Huskers’ regular season wraps up the following weekend with three games at Michigan State.
