No. 10 Stanford won its seventh and eighth straight dual matches Wednesday, defeating No. 17 Tulane and Saint Mary's at the Beach Volleyball Stadium. The Cardinal topped the Green Wave, 4-1, and swept the Saint Mary's Gaels in their third meeting of the 2023 season.
Freshman pair Kelly Belardi and Ashley Vincent have made a statement in their freshman season, making their mark in Stanford's record books in their first seasons competing in a Cardinal uniform. The duo matched the program's record for most consecutive victories, going 13-0 in so many opportunities. The freshman duo now owns 18 victories through just 20 collegiate matches played together. As a duo, they sit sixth on the career wins as a pair list (12 away from the top of the list) and are just one win away from tying the Cardinal's record for most wins in a season as a pair.
Freshman Ashley Vincent leads the team in victories, currently owning 22 victories in 24 matches played. She is just three wins away from setting a new Stanford record for single-season victories.
Stanford comes off a historic 2022 season, earning a bid to the NCAA Championships for just the second time in program history. The Cardinal saw multiple records broken in its last campaign, including:
Against Grand Canyon, April 24, 2022: No. 1 pair Xolani Hodel and Kate Reilly earned their 29th win as a pair and became the winningest pair in program history (as of May 2, 2022, the pair currently owns 30 wins).
Against Saint Mary’s, April 24, 2022: Sophomore Kate Reilly earned her 24th individual win of the 2022 season, a new program best for wins in a single season.
Against Arizona State, April 27, 2022:
Stanford earns its 24th program win, the most in a single season.
Sophomore Maya Harvey earns her 24th win of the 2022 season, matching Reilly’s program record for single-season individual wins set on April 24, 2022.
The Cardinal leaves the friendly confines of The Farm for its next taste of action, traveling to Baton Rogue, La. for the Battle on the Bayou. Stanford will meet No. 4 LSU, Houston Christian, North Florida, and Nicholls during its trip to the campus of LSU.
