STANFORD, Calif. – No. 1 Stanford begins Pac-12 play this weekend when it plays host to Oregon on Saturday at 7 p.m. (PT).
 
The Cardinal (7-0-1) has not lost a conference opener since 2000, when it fell to Hope Solo and Washington, 1-0, in Seattle. Since then, Stanford has gone 12-0-3 in conference openers. Under head coach Paul Ratcliffe, who took over as coach in 2003, Stanford is 10-0-3 in Pac-10/Pac-12 openers.
 
Stanford concluded its nonconference schedule this past weekend with a 2-1 victory against Santa Clara. Jordan DiBiasi scored her team-leading fifth goal of the season and Sam Tran notched her first collegiate goal to propel the Cardinal to victory. Goalkeeper Jane Campbell made five saves – four in the second half – to limit Santa Clara's offense.
 
The Cardinal has scored two or more goals in seven-of-eight games this season, while limiting opponents to one goal or fewer in all but one match. Stanford has not trailed in a game at any point this season.
 
Saturday's game will be streamed via GoStanford.com and live statistics will be available.

• Stanford finished the 2015 season ranked No. 6 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire coaches' poll and TopDrawerSoccer rankings.

Impressive Defensive Streaks
• Stanford has not allowed more than two goals in a match over its past 266 contests, not since a 4-0 loss to North Carolina on Sept. 11, 2005, in San Francisco. During that stretch, Stanford allowed two goals 27 times, which comes out to once every 9.85 matches.

• Stanford hasn't allowed more than two at home in regulation since Oct. 10, 1997, in a 3-2 loss to USC. This streak is longer than five of the eight members of the freshman class.
