Greubel’s Brace Fuels Rout – Stanford University Athletics

STANFORD, Calif. – Graduate student Abby Greubel scored a pair of goals to fuel No. 7 Stanford’s (15-2-1, 8-1-0 Pac-12) 5-0 rout of Utah (6-7-4, 2-5-2 Pac-12) on Thursday from Cagan Stadium.

The ball was sent in by Jasmine Aikey, where it ping-ponged around the box before eventually falling to Evans who put it away for her third goal of the year – all coming on corner-kick opportunities.
