After 90 scoreless minutes, the match was decided in the second period extra time on a golden goal from Stanford's Sam Werner.[1][2][3] The win gave Stanford their third consecutive NCAA Division I Men's Soccer title, making them the second ever program to threepeat in the tournament, and the first program to do so since Bruce Arena's Virginia teams did so in 1994.[4][5] Additionally, the victory gave Stanford an unprecedented 115th NCAA overall team title, moving ahead of UCLA.[6][7] With the women's team also winning the Women's College Cup the week before,[8] the title makes Stanford the first Division I school to win national titles in both men's and women's soccer in the same season.[9][10]
