STANFORD, Calif. - Riding a three-game win streak, No. 23 Stanford returns to The Farm to open a four-game homestand, beginning with a matchup against Yale Friday at 7 p.m. and a bout with Kent State on Sunday at 12 p.m. Both games will be broadcast live on the Stanford Live Stream.
The Cardinal picked up three wins last weekend in Bloomington, Ind., thanks to a relentless offensive attack. Sophomore Corinne Zanolli led the charge with 10 goals, bringing her into a tie for the national lead with Liberty's Agueda Moroni. Meanwhile, Emma Christus and Phoebe Crosthwaite contributed their first two goals of the season.
Zanolli, who led the Cardinal with 15 goals last season, earned conference and national recognition for her stellar weekend. The sophomore from Newtown Square, Pa., was named the America East Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday and NFHCA Offensive Player of the Week on Wednesday.

Stanford is led in the cage by junior Kelsey Bing, who is off to another great start this season with 29 saves to only nine goals allowed for a .763 save percentage. An NFHCA West Region Second Team selection, Bing ranked sixth nationally in 2017 with a .794 save percentage while making 112 saves.
Yale (3-0, 0-0 Ivy League) comes out to The Farm looking to keep its undefeated record intact. The Bulldogs are led by sophomore Imogen Davies' three total goals, and sophomore netminder Sydney Terroso has allowed only four goals through three games.
Kent State (2-5, 0-0 MAC) comes into the weekend off a win over Temple. Sophomore Clara Rodriguez Setó leads the Golden Flashes with five goals, and the Cardinal will look to keep her bottled up when the teams meet Sunday afternoon.
Stanford, which has won at least 13 games in each of head coach Tara Danielson's eight seasons, looks to push its winning streak to four on Friday night against Yale. The match is set to begin at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Stanford Live Stream.
