STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford's 2019 schedule will feature 18 regular-season games overall, highlighted by the Cardinal hosting the Stanford Invitational to start the season.
Following the first of two scheduled exhibition matches against the U20 Men's HP squad, Stanford opens its regular season on Friday, Aug. 30 with a home game against Northwestern to begin play from the Stanford Invitational. The Cardinal will host four matches in total during tournament play, including a home match against 2018 NCAA-qualifier Connecticut (Sep. 1), and neutral contests between Northwestern and Connecticut, and Northwestern and California.
This year's slate features six regular-season contests at Varsity Turf, including America East games against Cal (Sep. 20) and UC Davis (Nov. 1). The Card will also welcome Quinnipiac (Sep. 3) and tournament-participant Michigan (Sep. 6) to campus for early-season clashes.
In addition to the home matches against Connecticut and Michigan, Stanford will face three other opponents that reached the NCAA Tournament last season on the road - visiting Harvard (Sep. 12), Wake Forest (Sep. 27) and Duke (Sep. 29).
The road-heavy schedule will see Stanford at home just once from September 10 through October 22 - a span of 13 games.
Both contests against California (Sep. 20 and Oct. 22) were selected for broadcasts on Pac-12 Networks, while a handful of other road contests will air live on ESPN+, ACC Network Extra, and AmericaEast.tv.
Stanford finished the 2018 campaign 14-6 overall, including 5-1 in the America East, but came up short in its bid for a third consecutive America East Conference title. The Cardinal, which has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 10 of the last 12 seasons, produced at least 13 victories for the 10th straight year while capturing Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Co-Goalkeeper of the Year and Coaching Staff of the Year.
