HOUSTON -- When Stanford goalkeeper Andrew Epstein started to lift himself off the ground after his game-winning save in penalty kicks on Sunday, all he saw were his teammates racing towards him.At first, he wasnt sure it was over.Once his teammates made it 20 yards down the field in celebration, Epstein knew they had beaten Wake Forest and were back-to-back national champions.At that point youre just so happy, said Epstein, who had four saves in regulation and two more in the shootout. Its your favorite friends walking up the field towards you. Its a pretty special sight and Im lucky to have seen that two years in a row with my teammates flying on me. Thats a great feeling.Epstein made a pair of diving stops and Corey Baird and Sam Werner scored Stanfords final shootout goals to give the Cardinal their second straight College Cup title, 5-4 over Wake Forest after the teams played 110 scoreless minutes.Stanford didnt allow a goal in the tournament, becoming the first team since Wisconsin in 1995 to accomplish the feat and win the national championship.The game was the sixth national championship to go to penalty kicks, and the first since Virginia beat UCLA in 2014.Stanford finished 15-3-5 after beginning the season 0-3-1.Going into winter something felt a little missing, like we had to take that time to encourage and develop every single one of our players into something like those guys were last year, junior Drew Skundrich said. Over time we did that. We did very well in spring, everyone trained well over summer and we got after it right away in preseason.Dropping those first few games just made us realize this is a new year, a new team, new challenges and we need to take everything we can to get back to this stage and thats what we did, he said.Wake Forest finished 19-3-3. Stanford beat Wake Forest 2-1 in overtime in the quarterfinals last season on the way to its first national title.We had the opportunity to win the game today in penalties, Wake Forest coach Bobby Muuss said. I felt comfortable and confident with the group of guys that were stepping out there but it just wasnt our day unfortunately.Cardinal coach Jeremy Gunn improved to 4-1-1 in the College Cup. Prior to leading Stanford to the national championship last season, Gunn guided Charlotte to the 2011 College Cup as well.Its an exciting journey every time a college coach starts the year with a team and weve been fortunate to be standing at the end of the season a couple of times, Gunn said.Wake Forest came out firing in the second half, recording three shots and a corner in seven minutes.Stanford answered with its attack and Wake Forest goalkeeper Andreu Cases Mundet was solid. In the 71st minute, Mundet saved a shot while on his back, somehow keeping the ball from crossing the line fully. Seven minutes later, he made a dive to the left to deflect away Adrian Alabis header.The opening 30 minutes belonged to Stanford, with the Cardinal outshooting Wake Forest 4-1 and holding a 3-1 edge in corner opportunities. Two of the corner attempts came in the opening five minutes.Wake Forest ended up outshooting Stanford 10-9, and leading 5-4 in corners.BACK TO BACK CHAMPSStanford became the first mens soccer program to win two straight titles since Indiana accomplished the feat in 2003 and 2004. The Cardinal became the fourth program to win back-to-back national titles, joining St. Louis, Indiana and San Francisco.NO FUN FIELDThe field conditions were a topic of conversation all weekend at BBVA Compass Stadium.On Friday, following Wake Forests 2-1 win against Denver, Muuss remarked it was like playing on sand and after Sundays season finale, the comments werent much better.I think its disrespectful to college soccer, Muuss said when asked about the field conditions. What happened this weekend I think its a catastrophe for our game.The field was replaced in the middle of last MLS season, which meant it isnt in prime condition yet, which Muuss believes shouldnt be the case for a match like a national championship.The field didnt lose the game for us today, it just made for pretty sloppy NCAA Final Four, which is supposed to be the pinnacle of college soccer, he said. The programs and everybody that hurts college soccer or talks badly about college soccer is the professionals and we just played soccer in a professional stadium. So the stadium had nothing to do, it was out of their control, but I feel like its a catastrophe for college soccer. Jay-Tee Tiuli Jersey .

PHOENIX -- Randall Delgado tried almost too hard to make Arizonas rotation in spring training, tossing out mechanics as he overthrew. A stint in the minors did wonders for the young right-hander, giving him the strike-throwing foundation thats allowed him to pitch so well since being called up. Pounding the strike zone with his fastball and getting San Diegos hitters to chase his changeup, Delgado tossed a three-hitter for his first career shutout and the Diamondbacks pounded out 17 hits in a 10-0 rout over the Padres on Friday night. "This is what hes been building up toward," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. The Diamondbacks gave Delgado plenty of support, roughing up Eric Stults (8-9) with six runs the first three innings and seven extra-base hits. Aaron Hill had a pair of run-scoring doubles before leaving with a tight right hamstring, A.J. Pollock added a two-run single and Martin Prado had two of Arizonas six doubles. Delgado (3-3) helped himself by adding a pair of singles, becoming the first Arizona pitcher with a shutout and a multihit game since Randy Johnson on Sept. 14, 2003, against Colorado. "I thought he pitched really well tonight," Padres third baseman Chase Headley said. "They beat us in every aspect tonight and sometimes that happens." One of the top pitching prospects in baseball, Delgado arrived in Arizona with Prado last year in a six-player deal that sent outfielder Justin Upton and infielder Chris Johnson to Atlanta. Delgado failed to make Arizonas rotation out of spring training and opened the season at Triple-A Reno, where he worked on his mechanics and his strike-throwing mentality. Since being called up in June, the 23-year-old Panamanian has been a solid addition to Arizonas staff, allowed three earned runs in all eight starts. Delgado worked 5 2-3 scoreless innings his last start, a 3-1 win over San Francisco, and was even better against the Padres. Everth Cabrera lined his first pitch of the game for a single, but the right-hander retired nine straight until Nick Hundleys leadoff double in the fourth. Delgado stranded him at second and retired 10 straight before walking Yonder Alonso with one out in the seventh. Right fielder Gerardo Parra made a spectacular catch against the fence to rob Will Venable of a hit to end the seventh andd shortstop Didi Gregorious made a diving grab for the games final out, helping Delgado extend his scoreless streak to 14 2-3 innings.dddddddddddd Delgado struck out three, walked one and threw 70 strikes in 100 pitches for his first complete game in the majors. "This is a key for the pitchers, throw a lot of strikes, try to be ahead in the count," Delgado said. "That helped so much today. I was just trying to keep the ball down, throw a strike and see what happens after that." Stults pitched well his previous three starts, allowing five earned runs in 21 innings, and tossed a two-hit shutout his last start against Arizona on June 14. The Diamondbacks roughed up the left-hander right away Friday. Hill drove in a run with a double in the first inning, then scored on Prados run-scoring single. In the second inning, Cliff Pennington scored from first when Hundley, San Diegos catcher, threw wildly to first on Delgados sacrifice bunt and Hill followed with a second RBI double before leaving for precautionary reasons. The Diamondbacks scored two runs again in the third inning, on Wil Nieves run-scoring through a drawn-in infield and an RBI double by Pennington that made it 6-0. Ross added a run-scoring single in the fourth inning off Stults, who allowed seven runs -- five earned -- on 11 hits and struck out five. "I didnt give us a chance to win from the start," said Stults, winless his last five road starts. "The first inning to give them the two runs, then in the second inning to not come out and give us a shut-down inning, that was tough." Ross led off the seventh inning by hitting Colt Hynes up-in-the-zone 0-2 pitch off the foul pole in left for his sixth homer and Pollock made it 10-0 with his two-run single. By then, Delgado was already rolling to his best outing in the majors. NOTES: Arizona C Miguel Montero missed his fourth straight game with a stiff back and is still day to day. ...
