Jordan Morris, Stanford surge into NCAA title game with dramatic win over Akron

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — At least one more game as a Stanford Cardinal awaits Jordan Morris.

Morris and Stanford parlayed a scoreless 110-minute regular and double overtime period Friday night against Akron into penalties, where the Cardinal survived a 10-round marathon to emerge 8-7 winners. That put Stanford into its first NCAA title game since 2002 and on the precipice of its first ever national title in men’s soccer.

Stanford faces Clemson, which beat Syracuse in penalties after another scoreless draw in the other semifinal, at 11 a.m. PT on Sunday on ESPNU.

Morris’s future as a potential Seattle Sounder next season hung in the balance on Friday.
