The 19th-ranked Cardinal field hockey team showcased an all-around team effort Tuesday, earning a 1-0 win over host Cornell in a nonconference game. Stanford captain Sarah Helgeson scored the lone goal.
The first half saw the Cardinal (2-4) throw down a brutal offensive assault with a season-high 11 shots in a half, including Helgeson's goal that she put away on a cross that bounced off the post.
