STANFORD, Calif. – No. 1 Stanford continues Pac-12 play and wraps up its nine-game homestand this weekend, playing host to Washington State and Washington.
 
The Cardinal (8-0-1, 1-0 Pac-12) takes on the Cougars (5-3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) on Thursday at 7 p.m. (PT), and concludes the weekend Sunday at 2 p.m. against Washington.
 
Stanford scored three second-half goals in an eight minute span to secure a 3-0 victory against Oregon in its Pac-12 opener this past weekend. The Cardinal improved to 13-0-3 in conference openers since 2001 and 10-0-3 under head coach Paul Ratcliffe who took over in 2003.
 
Tegan McGrady and Averie Collins recorded their first goals of the year, while Jordan DiBiasi scored her team-leading sixth goal of the season. Jane Campbell registered her second shutout of the year and 32nd of her career – moving her into sole possession of third place on Stanford's all-time shutout list.
 
MAC Herman Trophy candidate, Andi Sullivan, continued her impressive season with a strong game against the Ducks in the midfield and assisted Stanford's third goal.
 
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.
 
Both games will be televised on the Pac-12 Network and live statistics will be available.
 
Pink Game on Sunday
• Stanford's game on Sunday will be a "Pink Game." The Cardinal will wear pink uniforms to create awareness as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Sullivan Makes Her Case
• Andi Sullivan established herself as a legitimate MAC Hermann Trophy candidate a year ago as a sophomore and has picked up where she left off with an impressive junior campaign. The defensive midfielder has started all nine games and is tied for second on the team with 10 points, accumulating three goals and four assists.
 
• Sullivan's impact goes beyond statistics. Her leadership, defense, distribution and ability to attack with pace makes her a unique centerpiece. Sullivan is an elite defender with a blistering shot from distance and shoulders a majority of the free-kick and corner kick responsibilities.
 
• Head coach Paul Ratcliffe: "Andi is making a huge impact on our team. She's the engine in our midfield and has excellent technical ability, speed and power.
 
"It is very rare to find a player with all of the attributes Andi possesses. Yet, Andi's strongest quality is her leadership. She is one of the strongest leaders that I have ever coached."
