STANFORD, Calif. – Aria Fischer was named MPSF/Kap7 Player of the Week for the second time this season when the conference announced its weekly honors on Tuesday afternoon. It's Stanford's league-high sixth player of the week award of 2019.
Fischer scored a career-high five goals to lead No. 1 Stanford to its third consecutive one-goal victory, a 13-12 win at No. 4 Cal on Saturday afternoon. The sophomore scored the Cardinal's first goal and then three in a row to begin the second quarter, which opened up a 7-2 lead. Fischer's finally tally with 3:05 to go in the game was Stanford's 13th goal – its only score in the fourth – and proved to be the game winner, as the Golden Bears battled back to score five in the final quarter and pull within one with 37 seconds remaining.
The Cardinal is at home the rest of the way. It plays UC Davis and San Jose State at Avery Aquatic Center this coming Friday and Saturday before hosting both the conference tournament (April 26-28) and the NCAA Championship (May 10-12).
