STANFORD, Calif. – No. 2 Stanford concludes its nonconference schedule this week when it travels to face Santa Clara on Sunday at Stevens Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Cardinal (6-1-0) recently completed a four-game home stand, outscoring opponents by 26-0 over the four games. Stanford's 22 goals over its last three matches is a program record – previously, Stanford scored 19 goals in a three-game stretch in 1991.

Stanford's last match against the Broncos (3-4-1) ended in heartbreak, with Santa Clara bagging a goal in double overtime in a second-round NCAA Tournament game at Cagan Stadium in November. Stanford holds an 18-20-5 (.477) all-time record against the Broncos.

During the 2016 regular season, Santa Clara visited Cagan Stadium with the Cardinal coming out on top, 2-1, thanks to goals from Jordan DiBiasi and Sam Tran. Live streaming and statistics for Sunday's match will be available at GoStanford.com.

Next week, Stanford travels to Pullman, Washington, to visit Washington State for the Pac-12 opener, which will broadcast live on Pac-12 Networks.
