Duke and Stanford set for high-stakes semifinal clash

  • Duke reached its sixth College Cup – and second straight year – with a 3-0 victory over Washington.
  • The Blue Devils are just the 12th program in NCAA history to reach back-to-back College Cups and remain the only team in the 2025 tournament yet to concede a goal, posting four straight shutouts. Duke now seeks its first national title after finishing runner-up in 1992, 2011, 2015.
  • Stanford secured its place with a decisive 5-1 win over Michigan State, earning a third consecutive Women’s College Cup appearance. This is the Cardinal’s fifth stretch of three straight College Cup appearances and the first since 2017-19. The three-time national champions (2011, 2017, 2019) are tied for the third-most titles in NCAA history.

Florida State and TCU meet in historic semifinal

  • Four-time champion Florida State makes its 15th College Cup appearance, riding an eight-game unbeaten streak.
