QUAKES IN COLLEGE: Catching up with Stanford sophomore & Quakes Academy alum Amir Bashti ahead of the 2016 NCAA championship tournament

On Friday, Stanford Men's Soccer visited the University of California for their final game of the Pac 12 season. Though the two sides finished as polar opposites in the conference standings, this historic rivalry between schools tends to throw current form out the window. This game was no different, as sophomore Quakes Academy product Amir Bashti's early far-post, curling goal from a tough angle was matched by a 56th minute own goal from a dangerous cross by another Quakes academy alum, Cal senior Trevor Long. Trading chances and locked at 1-1, the game headed to overtime, where a 98th minute winner gave Stanford a win to cap off their first place season heading into the NCAA Tournament.
