STANFORD, Calif. – No. 3 Stanford concludes its regular season home schedule this weekend, playing host to No. 22 Colorado and Utah.
 
The Cardinal (12-1-1, 5-1 Pac-12) takes on the Pac-12-leading Buffaloes (12-3, 6-0 Pac-12) on Thursday at 6 p.m. (PT) and concludes the weekend against Utah on Sunday at 1 p.m. Stanford will recognize its seniors prior to Sunday's game and fans are encouraged to arrive early to participate in the pregame ceremony.
 
Stanford will take on the teams without starters Andi Sullivan and Jane Campbell who are training this week with the full U.S. Women's National Team. The duo is preparing with the team for a pair of matchups against Switzerland in Sandy, Utah, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. (PT) and in Minneapolis on Sunday at 10:45 a.m.
 
Stanford earned a last-minute victory this past Friday at Oregon State on a rain-drenched evening in Corvallis, Oregon. Averie Collins registered her first career brace, including the game-winning goal with two seconds to play in regulation, to lead Stanford to a 3-2 win.
 
Collins doubled her season total in goals against Oregon State and now has a single-season career-high of four goals. She was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week - the first weekly honor of her career.

Sullivan, a MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, set a single-season career-high in goals with her sixth of the year against the Beavers – converting her third penalty kick of the season. She also contributed an assist on the game-winning goal and now has a career-best 17 points on the season.
 
Kyra Carusa continues to be a key generator of Stanford's offense and recorded her team-leading eighth assist of the year against Oregon State. She has contributed at least one point in 9-of-14 games this season.
 
The Cardinal has scored two or more goals in 12-of-14 games this season, while limiting opponents to one goal or fewer in all but three matches. Stanford has not trailed in 11-of-14 games.
 
Thursday's game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network and Sunday's game will be live streamed on GoStanford.com. Live statistics will be available for both games.

For Cardinal and Country
• Andi Sullivan and Jane Campbell were selected to the full U.S. Women's National Team camp. Sullivan and Campbell are two-of-three collegiate players selected to the October camp. BYU forward Ashley Hatch also earned an invitation. It is Campbell's second career call-up and the first for Sullivan.
 
• The duo is part of a 24-player group selected to the camp as the U.S. prepares for a pair of matches against Switzerland in Sandy, Utah, (Oct. 19) and Minneapolis (Oct. 23). Ellis will select 18 players for the roster for each match.

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 14 games and leads the team with 17 points, accumulating a career-highs in goals (6) and assists (5).
 
• 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."

Rankings
• Stanford enters the ninth week of the 2016 season ranked No. 3 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll, No. 5 in the TopDrawerSoccer rankings and No. 4 in the Soccer America rankings. Stanford spent three consecutive weeks ranked first in all three polls from Sept. 20-Oct. 4. Stanford was selected to finish first in the Pac-12 for the second consecutive season in a vote by conference head coaches.
 
• Stanford is second in the RPI rankings for the first time this season after spending the first four weeks ranked first.
 
• Stanford finished the 2015 season ranked No. 6 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire coaches' poll and TopDrawerSoccer rankings.
 
Impressive Defensive Streaks
• Stanford had its streak of 269 consecutive games of not allowing more than two goals in a match snapped this past weekend in a 3-0 loss at No. 7 USC. Prior to the game against the Trojans, Stanford had not allowed more than two goals in a match in its past 269 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 9.96 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. The streak is older than freshman, Sam Tran, who was born Oct. 24, 1998.
 
• 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.
 
Stanford Defensive Notes

• 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.
 
• Stanford recorded nine consecutive shutouts in 2014 to set school records for consecutive shutouts and consecutive shutouts to open a season.

• Bauer was a 2015 NSCAA Scholar All-American, the only representative from the Pac-12. She is also a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection.

Carusa Dishing Out Assists
• Kyra Carusa leads Stanford with eight assists – a single-season career-high for the redshirt sophomore. She is a workhorse for the Cardinal in the central forward position and excels at holding possession, distributing and creating her own shot.
 
Hot Start for DiBiasi
• Sophomore Jordan DiBiasi scored her team-leading sixth goal of the season against Oregon (Sept. 24) – eclipsing her season total of five during her freshman campaign in 2015.

Thursday's Opponent, No. 22 Colorado
• Stanford leads the all-time series 7-0 and has outscored the Buffaloes, 18-3. The Cardinal has shut out Colorado in four-of-seven meetings.
 
• The Buffaloes earned a 2-1 victory against Washington last weekend to remain unbeaten in Pac-12 play and atop the conference standings. Taylor Kornieck leads Colorado offensively with 24 points on 10 goals and four assists. Jalen Tompkins has logged a majority of the minutes in goal and holds a 0.53 goals-against average and .896 save percentage.
 
Sunday's Opponent, Utah
• Stanford leads the all-time series 6-1-1 and enters the contest on a six-match unbeaten streak against the Utes. Stanford faced a 1-0 deficit after the first half in last year's matchup but erupted for four second-half goals to earn a convincing 4-1 victory.
