The Cardinal will look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss against Cal on Tuesday, which featured four of five matches going to three sets. Stanford took the lead with a Courtney Bowen and Jennifer DiSanto win, while Merete Lutz and Halland McKenna won their fourth match in a row at the number three position. Stanford was unable to close the door on Cal, who clinched the match with an 18-16 third-set win in the number two match.
The Cardinal has faced three of its four weekend opponents already this season. At Oregon’s tournament last weekend in Portland, Stanford defeated the host Ducks before losing to Boise State. The Cardinal also faced off against Saint Mary’s at the Stanford Invitational, losing, 4-1, on March 6.
The tournament is expected to be held regardless of the weather, and live updates will be available at GoStanford.com.
