  • Stanford pieced together a 21-game winning streak earlier this season, spanning from Feb. 12-March 17. It's the second-longest winning streak in program history, trailing only a 28-game unbeaten stretch from Feb. 7-March 23 in 2009.
  • Stanford has displayed marked progress every season under head coach Jessica Allister, who owns a 189-109 overall record (.631) in six seasons on The Farm. Allister's career coaching record is 479-216 (.688) and includes a 290-107 (.730) mark during a seven-year tenure at Minnesota.
