STANFORD, Calif. - After a weekend that saw Stanford post impressive performances at a trio of events around the nation, the Cardinal sailing team now looks ahead to the Big Sail against Cal at noon (PT) Tuesday at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco.
Stanford seeks its ninth straight Big Sail victory after defeating Cal last season, 2-0.
The Cardinal looks to build on last weekend's ventures to the Navy Fall Intersectional, Captain Hurst Bowl and Stoney Burke Intersectional.
A slew of Cardinal took to the water in the three events. The Navy Fall featured Kevin Laube (A-Division), Natalie Urban (A-Division), Katie Riklin (A-Division), Antoine Screve (B-Division), Helena Scutt (B-Division), Kieran Chung-Wolf (C- Division) and Michael Dauhl (D-Division).
The fall setting in Annapolis, Md., featured a first-place showing in the B-Division by Screve and Scutt, who punched in 74 points.
Laube, Urban and Riklin came through with 125 points and the C-Division was second with 65 points.
Stanford (412) was sixth overall as College of Charleston picked up the win.
Axel Sly and Rebecca King represented the Cardinal in the A-Division of Dartmouth's Captain Hurst Bowl with Yuki Yoshyiasu and McKenzie Wilson competing in the B-Division.
Competing at Cal's Stoney Burke Intersectional were Jack Ortel (A-Division), Sammy Steele (A-Division), Max Korhman (B-Division) and Michelle Catania (B-Division).
The Cardinal placed 12th with 142 points, 62 of which came from Ortel and Steele in the A-Division.
Stanford placed fifth at the Captain Hurst Bowl with 146 points, four spots behind first-place Hawaii (90). Ortel and Steele totaled 49 points with Korhman and Catania chipping in 97.
