How It Happened

The Dukes' defense was solid in the opening frame, holding Stanford without a shot.
Stanford's offense broke through less than three minutes into the second quarter as a Cardinal attacker took advantage of a bouncing ball in front of the crease.
Minutes later, Stanford struck on a corner, taking a 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
In the final minute of the third period, JMU got on the board via a penalty corner goal from Remijnse with assists from Zwager and McClure.
Sophomore Cassidy Strittmatter connected with Zwager who streaked towards the goal, getting off a hard shot to the bottom left corner to make it 2-2 at the 9:50 mark of the fourth quarter.
In overtime, Stanford's Lynn Vanderstichele intercepted a pass at midfield and found teammate Cara Cambeth for the gamewinner 43 seconds into the period.
