Stanford midfielder Drew Skundrich has won cup finals before in Seattle, Kansas City and Houston, but becoming a third-time champion with the Cardinal on Sunday was extra special because it was his first time celebrating a title in his home state.
“It feels absolutely amazing,” Skundrich said after the win Sunday. “I just want to thank all my teammates for an incredible four years at Stanford. Nothing could have been possible without them, my coaches are amazing, (head coach Jeremy Gunn) has been incredible throughout this whole ride. I’m just very thankful we’ve been able to win three straight and hopefully they can continue the tradition in the future.
