The Cardinal was able to maintain a sizeable lead at the break, 10-3, thanks to a pair of scores from Aria Fischer and one each from Cassidy Wiley and Sarah Klass.
The third-quarter was all Cardinal as Stanford rattled the cage eight times and held Fresno State scoreless. Sarah Klass, Makenzie Fischer and Mackenzie Wiley each scored twice in the period while Kayle Constandse and Jordan Raney added the final two to make it 18-3 after three.
Stanford outscored Fresno State 4-2 in the final quarter on three goals from Hannah Shabb and another from Constandse.
