STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford Cardinal forward and former Timbers Academy player Foster Langsdorf wasn't even sure that he had scored.
“I look up and I thought I remembered hitting [the ball] with my head and it going in,” Langsdorf said after his team's thrilling 1-0 extra time win over the University of Virginia Cavaliers. “But then Drew [Skundrich] took his shirt off and started celebrating so I thought maybe he had scored it.”
In the 105th minute of a scoreless, end-to-end match at Stanford's Laird Q. Cagan Stadium, Langsdorf scored on a diving header – his 14th goal this season and seventh match-winner – that sent him and his teammates into the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament and on to a date with fourth-seeded Louisville.
