No goals, no problem. After 110 minutes of scoreless soccer, Stanford edged Wake Forest in penalty kicks to capture their second straight College Cup title on Sunday afternoon in Houston.
Junior goalkeeper Andrew Epstein, a Colorado Rapids Academy alumnus, made a pair of saves to seal the Cardinal’s second straight championship and extend the school’s streak of national titles to a remarkable 41 straight years.
It was Epstein’s counterpart, Wake Forest freshman Cases Mundet who came up huge late in regulation with a left-handed save to stop an Adrian Alabi header toward goal off a free kick.
