STANFORD, Calif. – With a monumental season on the horizon, Stanford Field Hockey unveiled the 2024 schedule on Wednesday afternoon. The upcoming slate features 16 games, with the Cardinal hosting six at Varsity Field Hockey Turf.

The Cardinal heads back on the road on September 13 for a showdown against in-state foe UC Davis.
