STANFORD, Calif. – The Oregon State University men's soccer program withstood a vaunted attack through the majority of the match from defending national champion Stanford on Sunday at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
The No. 8-ranked Cardinal (10-2-1, 4-0-1 Pac-12) connected for a second-half goal to send the Beavers (4-9-0, 1-4-0 Pac-12) back to Corvallis empty-handed at 1-0.
"We gave everything we had," said head coach Steve Simmons. "Our guys left everything on the field and we know that when you play Stanford at their place you have to match them in their spirit.
