1998 NCAA TOURNAMENT: Stanford, Illinois and Texas will travel this week to Long Beach, Calif., for the Mountain Regional, hosted by Long Beach State. This will mark the first time in five years that Stanford will not host a Regional. The Cardinal did host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament last weekend, the 11th straight year a sub-regional has been held at Maples Pavilion. As the second seed in the Mountain Regional, and eighth seed in the 64-team field, Stanford defeated SE Missouri State in the first round and Notre Dame in the second round. In August, the NCAA increased the number of teams participating in this year's tournament to 64. The Final Four will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin.
CARDINAL HISTORY AT THE NCAAs: As two-time defending national champions, Stanford is trying to become the first school to capture three straight NCAA titles. Only three other teams have captured back-to-back crowns: UCLA (1990-91), Pacific (1985-86) and Hawaii (1982-83). The Cardinal has also claimed four of the last six NCAA titles, and is one of four programs to earn berths in all 18 tournaments. Pacific, Penn State and UC Santa Barbara are the other three. In 17-plus years of postseason history, Stanford is 51-14 (.785), with four championships, three runner-up finishes and three third-place finishes in 11 Final Four appearances. The 51 postseason wins leads all Div. I programs. The Cardinal extended its postseason winning streak to 12 matches and have won 20 of its last 21 NCAA Tournament matches, and 27 of its last 29.
STATE OF THE UNION: California-based teams have won 12 of the 17 Championship crowns, with Hawaii (3), Nebraska (1) and Texas (1) the only other states that boast national winners. This year's Tournament featured 13 teams from California, but only six are still alive in the Round of 16.
THE PAC-10 IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT: By conference, the Pac-10 has captured eight of the 17 titles awarded, including six of the last eight. Stanford has taken four titles (1992, '94, '96 and '97), while UCLA captured titles in 1984, '90, and '91 and USC won the first NCAA title presented in women's volleyball in 1981. The Pac-10 is still represented this year by Stanford and USC. Arizona and UCLA bowed out in the second round to Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara, respectively.
A LOOK AT THE TEAMS IN MOUNTAIN REGIONAL:
LONG BEACH STATE: The 49ers are 32-0 -- one of two unbeaten teams in the NCAA Tournament -- and have swept their last 19 opponents. The 49ers hit a school-record .615 vs. Southern in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, while holding the Lady Jaguars to a -.143. That 15-0, 15-0, 15-0 score was a first in NCAA postseason play. Long Beach State is led by senior Misty May, last year's AVCA Player of the Year. She has posted five triple-doubles this season. Stanford holds an 11-1 all-time record with the 49ers, including a 3-1 win in last year's Final Four that sent Stanford to the championship match.
ILLINOIS: The Fighting Illini are currently riding a five-match win streak, and are 22-10 on the season. The squad has a balanced offense, with five players recording at least 10 kills each in both NCAA Tournament matches this season. Leading the attack are Tracey Marshall and Cristy Chapman, with 528 and 460 kills on the season, respectively. In four meetings, Stanford has never fallen to Illinois.
TEXAS: The Longhorns are currently 26-4 this year and have swept 14 of their opponents. Demetria Sance leads Texas with 481 kills, averaging 4.81 per game. She posted 34 kills in the first two rounds of this year's NCAA Tournament. The Cardinal is 12-5 vs. the Longhorns.
PAC-10 CHAMPIONS: Stanford won its fifth straight Pac-10 title outright with a victory over UCLA on Nov. 20. The Cardinal clinched at least a share of the crown with a sweep of Oregon State on Nov. 15. In the past five seasons, Stanford is 87-3 (.967) in conference play, losing only to USC on Nov. 22, Washington State in the 1996 season and UCLA in 1994. The Cardinal saw its 44 match Pac-10 win streak come to an end with the loss to USC. In the 13 years Stanford has been a part of the Pac-10 conference in volleyball, the Cardinal has never finished lower than second, earning seven conference titles since 1986.
ON THE AIRWAVES: Stanford's student radio station, KZSU 90.1 FM, will broadcast Stanford's matches live. Colin Drake handles the play-by-play duties with Will Flemming as the color analyst. The match will also be on a real audio webcast on Stanford's athletic website: www.gostanford.com.
NATIONAL RANKINGS: The Cardinal remained at No. 5 in both the USA Today/AVCA Coaches andVolleyball Magazine Polls for the second straight week. The Cardinal began the season ranked No. 4 and No. 5 in the polls, respectively. In fact, Stanford has been ranked in the top ten for 210 weeks, topping the chart. No. 3 Nebraska is next at 198. The Cardinal has been ranked as low as No. 9 this season, the lowest since a No. 8 ranking in the 1989 campaign.
WINNING TRADITION: With a victory over USF on Nov. 24, Stanford reached the 25-win plateau for the fifth straight season and the 14th time in 23 years. The Cardinal has reached the 20-win mark for nine straight seasons. In the history of Cardinal volleyball, Stanford has never had a losing season. In fact, Stanford is averaging almost 30 wins per season in the '90s.
REACHING FOR THE ROOF: Stanford's averaging 3.64 blocks per game to lead the Pac-10 and rank fourth nationally. Two Cardinal athletes rank in the Pac-10's top 10 in bpg: Jennifer Detmer (1.51, 4th) and Sara Sandrik (1.33, 6th). SE Missouri State joined No. 5 Nebraska and No. 11 USC by becoming just the third team to outblock the Cardinal this season. The Cardinal averages 1.8 blocks per game more than its opposition. Stanford recorded a season-high 29 blocks vs. then-No. 12 Colorado on Sept. 12, the Pac-10's best single-match performance this season.
BALANCED ATTACK: Stanford's offense is spread through five players who have registered at least 200 kills. Jennifer Detmer and Kerri Walsh lead the team with 351 kills apiece. Detmer is also one of four Cardinal players who is hitting over the .300 mark. In fact, Stanford's offense is one of the most productive in the Pac-10, as the Cardinal is ranked first in the conference in hitting percentage (.295), while ranking second in assists per game (15.48) and kills per game (17.04).

MARKING A MILESTONE: Stanford head coach Don Shaw is currently 45-10 (.818) in postseason play. He has led Stanford to four NCAA titles and amassed the best winning percentage in NCAA Division I history. Shaw earned his 400th career victory Oct. 30 at Washington. In his 15 seasons on The Farm, Shaw has led the Cardinal to a 409-66 (.861) career mark, as well as 212-22 (.906) in the Pac-10. On Oct. 2, he earned his 200th Pac-10 victory, becoming the only coach in the conference's history to reach that mark. The UCSB graduate, who served as co-head coach with Fred Sturm in 1984-85 before taking sole control in 1986, has guided the Cardinal to a 87-3 (.967) conference record in the last five seasons, including 152-11 (.933) overall. Shaw, the 1997 Volleyball Magazine National Coach of the Year, Pac-10 Co-Coach of the Year and District VIII Coach of the Year, has also led Stanford to six Pac-10 titles and eight Final Four appearances.
KERRI WALSH, PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Two-time First Team AVCA All-American and 1996 National Freshman of the Year Kerri Walsh became the sixth Stanford player to be named Pac-10's Player of the Year when she earned this year's honor. Walsh has been a major force in leading the Cardinal to a 52-2 conference record and three Pac-10 crowns in her three seasons on The Farm. The Saratoga, Calif., native posted her best night of the season at No. 10 Pacific on Oct. 20. She recorded her fifth career triple-double that night, registering a season-high 24 kills, as well as posting 10 assists and 17 digs. She also reached the 1,000-kill plateau in the second game of that match. Walsh earned her second Pac-10 Player-of-the-Week honor this season (and fifth of her career) by adding double-doubles vs. Arizona State and Arizona on Oct. 23 and 25 and finished that week with 59 kills (4.54 kpg), 18 assists, 45 digs and 11 blocks. Walsh is currently hitting .384, the third best single-season hitting percentage in school history and second in the Pac-10. She trails Kim Oden, who hit .385 in 1985 and Wendy Rush, who hit .400 in 1987. Walsh ranks second in the conference in digs per game (3.19) and is eighth in kills average (3.77). In the first two weeks of the season, she was named to the All-Tournament Team at the San Diego State Tournament and led her team to the Colorado PowerBar Invitational title, posting 29 kills, 22 digs and 18 blocks in two matches en route to Tournament MVP and her first Pac-10 Player-of-the-Week honors. Walsh also has registered 13 double-doubles on the season. In addition to 1996 All-America and National Freshman of the Year Honors, Walsh was named the Final Four Most Valuable Player and First Team All-Pac-10. In 1997, she earned First Team All-America, All-District 8 and First Team All-Pac-10 honors. Walsh concluded the year by recording a triple-double of 30 digs (single match school record), 14 kills and 11 assists in the championship match victory over Penn State.

STRONG SCHEDULE: Nine of Stanford's opponents were selected to the 64-team field for the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinal also finished its regular season with a 7-3 mark agaisnt ranked opposition. September was the Cardinal's most competitive month, as the team played six teams ranked in the top 25: No. 10 UC Santa Barbara (9/1), No. 5 Nebraska (9/4), No. 21 San Diego (9/5), No. 12 Colorado (9/12), No. 5 USC (9/18) and No. 20 Arizona (9/25), and lost only to the first two -- the Gauchos and Huskers. Stanford also defeated No. 10 Pacific (10/20), No. 17 Arizona (10/25) and No. 16 UCLA (11/20) but fell to No. 11 USC (11/22) to round out the record. Eleven of the Carindal's opponents have been ranked in the top 25 at one point this season.
1997 YEAR IN REVIEW: The Cardinal finished the season with a 33-2 mark, tying the school single-season record for wins, also established in 1980 (33-18). Stanford finished the 1997 campaign with a school-record 28 straight wins, tied for the ninth-longest streak in NCAA Division I history. The 5-0 mark in the NCAA Tournament gives Stanford a 49-14 record in the postseason since the event began in 1981. The 49 NCAA Tournament wins is the most by any Division I school. Stanford also went 18-0 in the Pac-10 for the third time in school history (1991, 1995, 1997) en route to its fourth straight conference title.
