"The most proficient offense in the country lost its scoring touch at the worst possible time. No. 1 Stanford was shut out for the second time all season in a 1-0 loss to No. 3 Florida State in the women's College Cup final Monday night in Kansas City. The Seminoles (16-2-4) scored with three minutes left to win their third title in five years including a 5-1 win over Stanford in the 2023 title game."
"The Cardinal (21-2-2) led the nation with four goals and 23 shots a game. It outshot FSU 18-8, including a 9-3 edge in shots on goal, but was unable to beat goalie Kate Ockene, who saved point-blank headers by Eleanor Klinger and Jasmine Aikey in the first half. It was the 13th shutout in 22 games for FSU, which hadn't lost since a 2-1 home defeat against the Cardinal on Oct. 16."
