In the 28th minute, Charlotte Kohler drew a penalty in the box, which redshirt senior Andrea Kitahata converted for her first goal of the season and the 23rd of her career.
Elise Evans added to Stanford’s lead in the 31st minute by capitalizing on her own rebound following a corner kick. After leading 3-0 at halftime, Stanford increased its advantage early in the second half when Joelle Jung scored off an assist from Montoya.
