Huskers Soar Past Stanford, 2-1

Palo Alto, Calif --- Senior All-America defender Isabelle Morneau scored on a cross from senior All-America defender Sharolta Nonen at 72:03 to give the No. 3 Nebraska soccer team a 2-1 come-from-behind win over No. 22 Stanford in the Stanford Nike Invitational on Friday.

The Huskers, who improved to 7-0-0 with the victory, trailed 1-0 after Stanford's Kelly Adamson scored on a header off an assist from Kelsey Carl at 63:52.

But the Huskers turned up the pressure and answered with Kori Saunders' header at 67:51 off an assist from Jenny Benson to tie the score, 1-1. Saunders' goal set up Morneau's game-winner, which also marked her first goal of the season.

Nebraska Coach John Walker said he was glad the Huskers came away with the win.

"Stanford is just so talented that I am happy that we were able to find a way to win," Walker said. "I thought we responded well after they got the first goal, which is a sign of a veteran team. It was also great that Isabelle got the game-winner for us."

Stanford fell to 3-2-0 with the loss. Nebraska returns to action at the Stanford Nike Invitational on Sunday when the Huskers take on No. 1 Santa Clara at 1 p.m. central time. The Broncos defeated Seton Hall, 4-0, in the tournament's first game.
