  •  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.
