Stanford beat UCLA 2-1 in overtime in the semifinals Friday, while North Carolina edged Notre Dame 1-0.
Stanford is one win away from becoming the first team other than North Carolina to march through a championship season without a loss or a tie. The Tar Heels had a perfect record between 1991-93 and went 27-0 on their way to the 2003 championship.
