"Stanford felt right at home, allowing the national championship to stay on The Farm.
Backed by a raucous crowd at Avery Aquatic Center, Stanford became the first host school to win an NCAA championship while defending its title with a 7-6 victory over UCLA on Sunday evening.
Kiley Neushul converted a penalty shot for the game-winner with 11 seconds remaining, as Stanford (25-2) captured its fourth NCAA crown in five years and fifth in school history. The NCAA title is also the 106th won by a Stanford team and extends the school's national-best streak of years with at least one NCAA championship to 39, dating back to 1976-77.
