WOMEN'S SOCCER Six Pac-12 teams earned NCAA Tournament bids in 2012, and four teams hosted first round matches. Conference champion STANFORD, which made its fifth consecutive trip to the College Cup, fell to eventual national champion North Carolina in the semifinal. UCLA reached the quarterfinals and CALIFORNIA advanced to the second round, while ARIZONA STATE, WASHINGTON and WASHINGTON STATE fell in the first round. Pac-12 teams posted a 75-28-12 (.704) record against non-conference competition this season, and three teams claimed spots in the final NSCAA rankings. Stanford finished the season at No. 3, while UCLA came in a No. 5, and Cal landed at No. 21 in the poll. Five players represented the Pac-12 on NSCAA All-America teams — Zakiya Bywaters (first team) and Abby Dahlkemper (second team) of UCLA and Alina Garciamendez (first team), Rachel Quon (first team) and Mariah Noguiera (second team) of Stanford. Additionally, 23 of the 33 players named to the NSCAA All-Pacific Region team are from Pac-12 schools. Cardinal head coach Paul Ratcliffe claimed his fifth straight Pac-12 Coach of the Year award, and UCLA's Bywaters was the Pac-12 Player of the Year. 2012 FINAL PAC-12 CONFERENCE WOMEN'S SOCCER STANDINGS Stanford*^$ UCLA^ California^ Washington State^ Arizona State^ Oregon State Washington^ USC Utah Oregon Colorado Arizona CONFERENCEOVERALL TP WL T PCT HOMEAWAY W LTPCT HOMEAWAY NEUT STREAK 33 110 0 1.0005-0 6-0 21 2 1.896 12-0-1 7-0 2-2 L1 25 821.7733-1-1 5-1-0 18 3 2 .826 9-1-1 8-2-1 1-0 L1 24 8 3 0 .727 4-2 4-1 16 6 0 .727 7-4 9-2 0-0 L1 19 64 1 .591 5-1-0 1-3-1 1262.650 8-1 3-4-2 1-1 -19 6 4 1 .591 5-3 1-0-2 10 9 2 .524 5-4 3-5-2 2-0 L1 12 3 5 3 .409 2-1-2 1-4-1 11 6 3 .625 5-2-2 6-4-1 0-0 L1 11 36 2 .3642-1-2 1-5 1083.548 5-2-1 5-6-2 0-0 L2 11 3 6 2 .364 3-1 0-5-2 6 10 3 .395 4-7 2-3-3 0-0 W1 10 37 1 .318 3-2 0-5-1 8 83.500 6-2 1-5-2 1-1 -10 3 7 1 .318 3-2-1 0-4-1 8 10 2 .450 7-3-1 1-7-1 0-0 W1 8 27 2 .273 0-5-1 2-2-1 8 84.500 3-5-1 4-3-3 1-0 T1 8 2 7 2 .273 1-4-2 0-3-1 6 11 3 .375 2-4-2 3-6-1 1-1 L1 * - Conference Champion; ^ - NCAA Tournament Participant; $ - College Cup Participant 2012 NCAA WOMEN'S SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP RESUL TS (31st Annual) First Round Baylor 3, ARIZONA STATE 1 CALIFORNIA 1, Pepperdine 0 STANFORD 3, Idaho State 0 UCLA 1, Wisconsin 0 Auburn 2, WASHINGTON 1 Portland 2, WASHINGTON STATE 2 (POR 6-5 PKs) Second Round San Diego State 2, CALIFORNIA 1 STANFORD 2, Santa Clara 1 UCLA 5, Kentucky 0 Third Round STANFORD 3, Denver 0 UCLA 3, San Diego State 0 Quarterfinals STANFORD 2, UCLA 1 WOMEN'S COLLEGE CUP Semifinals: North Carolina 1, STANFORD 0 (OT) STATISTICAL LEADERS INDIVIDUAL Points......................................
