A hard-fought senior night at Cagan Stadium ends in a 0-0 draw between No. 1 Stanford and SMU. The Cardinal remain unbeaten at home this season, recording their fifth straight clean sheet and extending the program’s longest shutout streak since 2017.
With the result, Stanford improves to 12-1-2 (5-1-1 ACC) and now turns its focus to the regular-season finale against California — where a win would secure the ACC regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament.

Yeah, in the classic 442 that you usually see, no changers here for the Stanford Cardinal. Shane Doris getting his first goal. Yeah, not a formation you see a lot. 3 421. A threeack should be interesting. Stanford just saw a threeback against USF as well. Eight of the 11 starters are new this year, but they are certainly a talented team as indicative of their preseason ranking. Uh, not much that could be done right there from Brun and Stanford trying to punch back and punch back in a hurry. Here’s this cross clipped and Fletcher Bank. Partal 16 raising his hand and he’s going to whip it in high and bounces to Dominguez. Pretty solid contact, but it ended up straight at the keeper. Number one Cardinal with their hands full. SMU on their lone trip to the West Coast, their lone game. They play Stanford to a nil nil draw at the half in national titles backto back to back. So quite a tough schedule for SMU to close out the year, but they certainly seem well up to the task and a fantastic year for them. These two teams actually were picked to finish tied in the ACC. assuming after this corner kick. Yeah, senior about to head onto the pitch again. Final regular season home match at Kagan for either the men’s or women’s team. Women wrapped it up yesterday. He header that was coming off another dramatic road trip. San Jose State Syracuse. They had a lot of goals late, but will things break down here? Soonian sends it right into the arms of Shbley. SMU looking dangerous here as we continue to take down to the second half. Under 18 to play. Can they create another shot here? Soon in a clean header and he just cannot get that final touch he’s been looking for tonight. Pur has come ever so close and here maybe his best chance. Yeah, a stunning ball in. And that was Pimentel putting exactly on the head. Can Fletcher Bank get this one away? He can, but it never had a chance. And for only the second time in conference play, the Stanford Cardinal have dropped points.
