STANFORD, Calif. - There is special parking for soccer fans attending Friday's Stanford-Boston College women's match if they know where to look.

Normal parking will not be available because of the Stanford-San Jose State football at Stanford Stadium at 7 p.m. However, there is parking to accomodate soccer fans for the 4 p.m. match between the No. 4 Cardinal and the No. 7 Boston College Eagles at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.

Lot 9 (Lasuen Grove on Palm Drive) will be available free for soccer parking until 4 p.m. After that, parking there is $15.

Lot 11 (Maples Pavilion) and Lot 12 (the parking structure across Maples Pavilion on Campus Drive) will be open all day for soccer parking, based on availability.

Stanford (2-1) and Boston College (3-0) will be meeting for the sixth time in five years, including in the past three NCAA tournaments, with Stanford winning each match.

The Cardinal holds a 4-0-1 series lead, but is trying to bounce back from a Sunday loss to West Virginia that ended the Cardinal's 24-match winning streak.
