SEATTLE - It was just the second time this season that No. 1 and undefeated Stanford had been taking to overtime but the Cardinal snuck past UW in the 94th minute for a 1-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at Husky Soccer Field.
UW falls to 4-4-3 on the year and 0-2-1 in conference play while Stanford improves to 11-0-1 and 3-0-0.
The Huskies held their own against a top-ranked team for the second-straight game after taking No. 21 Cal to overtime on Friday and ending in a draw.
Stanford took 23 shots in the game, 10 on goal while Husky keeper Jorde LaFontaine-Kussmann (Lakewood, Wash.) made nine saves.
There were several great shots taken by both teams as UW had nine shots, two on goal each by Kelli Stewart (Mukilteo, Wash.) and Hillary Zevenbergen (Woodway, Wash.).
The lone goal came from All-American Teresa Noyola, her sixth of the year, in the 94th minute on an assist by Mariah Nogueria. It was a cross from the left side of the field and Noyola headed it into the right corner.
UW continues conference play next week, hosting Colorado and Utah for the first-time ever as conference opponents in the Pac-12.
