STANFORD, Calif. – Senior goalkeeper Gabby Stone was named MPSF/Kap7 Player of the Week when the conference announced its weekly honors on Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Stone tied a career high with 15 saves and No. 2 Stanford held No. 5 Cal to its lowest offensive output of the season in the Cardinal's 8-2 Big Splash victory in Berkeley on Sunday. The two goals for the Golden Bears were the fewest Stanford has allowed to a top-5 opponent since it beat No. 4 UCLA 8-1 on April 6, 2013.
Â
Stone made big save after big save at Cal, including stopping a one-on-none for the Golden Bears late in the first half and quickly pushing ahead to Makenzie Fischer in transition for Stanford's fifth goal of the game. Her saves snuffed out a number of Cal's 6-on-5 chances and the Golden Bears went just 1-for-7 on the power play.
Â
Stone's 15 saves tied her career high from March 29, 2015 against UC Davis and pushed her career total to 506, the fourth player in program history to surpass 500.
Â
It's Stone's third career MPSF weekly honor.
Â
Stanford is at No. 1 USC on Saturday, April 8 for a game televised on Pac-12 Networks beginning at 5 p.m.
