The Stanford-Washington State Series

Starting Strong
• It is the first time Stanford has started Pac-12 play undefeated through the first six games since 2012. The Cardinal has outscored conference opponents 14-3 this season.

Conference Openers
• Following Stanford’s conference-opening win at Utah, the Cardinal has not lost a conference opener since 2000, when the Cardinal fell to Hope Solo and Washington, 1-0, in Seattle. Since then, Stanford has gone 12-0-3 in conference openers. Under Paul Ratcliffe, who took over as coach in 2003, Stanford is 10-0-3 in Pac-10/Pac-12 openers.

Impressive Defensive Streaks
• Stanford has not allowed more than two goals in a match over its past 249 contests, not since a 4-0 loss to North Carolina on Sept. 11, 2005, in San Francisco. During that stretch, Stanford allowed two goals 26 times, which comes out to once every 9.58 matches.

• Stanford hasn’t allowed more than two goals in a match at home since Oct. 5, 1998, in a 3-2 overtime loss to BYU.

• Stanford hasn’t allowed more than two at home in regulation since Oct. 10, 1997, in a 3-2 loss to USC.

• Jane Campbell’s shutout streak of 803:18 during the 2014 season (Aug. 22-Sept. 26) is the 18th-longest by a goalkeeper in NCAA Division I history.

Immediate Impact
• The impact of Stanford’s freshman class has been evident through the first half of the season. All five freshmen field players Michelle Xiao, Jordan DiBiasi, Alana Cook, Tegan McGrady and Averie Collins have seen significant time.

• DiBiasi let her presence known against No. 9 BYU, scoring her first collegiate goal for the game-winner. She scored her second game-winning goal in three games when she scored in overtime at Arizona (Oct. 4) to lift Stanford to a 3-2 victory.

• Cook has done well taking on the centerback position that requires her to be a strong presence in the center of the field and decisive on the ball when distributing.

• McGrady scored the game-winning goal in overtime against Oklahoma to lift Stanford to a 2-1 win. She assisted both game-winning goals against Oregon State (Oct. 8) and Oregon (Oct. 11).

• Averie Collins scored the first goal of her collegiate career in her Pac-12 debut at Utah to help lead Stanford to a 4-1 victory.

Young Goal-Scorers
