Stanford’s energy wearing a green headband to raise awareness of mental health was obvious. Through the first half, the top 10 teams embody beautiful soccer consistently. With the front and rear play, the team was almost completely uniform. The clean path is useful for playing possession -oriented play, and despite the only four goal shots in half, the game was fierce, which applied throughout the half. There were all elements of the game thriller, except for fancy footwork, break away, dangerous counter attacks, set play -except for goals.

As the No. 1 recruitment of the 2026 class, Evans proved that it was irreplaceable for Cardinals, and started all games this season and led the team eight times.
When the second half began, the sharp pass in the first half turned into a chicken effort for possession. In the 58th minute, UCLA Ally Leimos won yellow, one of the two cards given during the match.
After a few minutes, Stanford retreated and gave UCLA the opportunity to draw space and games. Blue Ins aimed for the goal by playing all free kicks as a set play.
“We were in defense, they were aggressive,” said Ryan Campbell, a Cardinal junior goalkeeper.
For the last 10 minutes, the goalkeeper was a mixture of shoots and free kicks, including shots right outside the box of 80 minutes. This set play was given to Avani Brandt, a second -year defender, with his card, and was one of the best opportunities for Blue Ins this night. Nevertheless, Campbell ended that night with no loss.
“As long as I have the right mentality, I have an advantage,” Campbell explained.
Players were delighted with the victory, but it was clear that the match means more than the result. To commemorate Meyer, Cardinal commented on the head coach Paul Latcriffs that the players had taken a step down and allowed them to “think about things.” Latcriffs have shown the support of a suspicious cause, supporting the second grader, Midfielder Andrea Kitahata, has decided to take a break from the season to prioritize mental health.
“It’s time to start these conversations,” Evans said on behalf of the team.
As a whole, Stanford won and broke Blue Ins 1-0 with the nailing of the game. “This is a great victory for us,” Latcriff commented after this “meaningful match.”
