13th 5-0 Sweep Win of the Season

No. 4 Stanford notched its 13th 5-0 win of the 2025 season over No. 16 North Florida after falling 4-1 to No. 7 USC

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. – No. 4 Stanford recorded its 13th 5-0 sweep of the season on Friday, bouncing back from a 4-1 loss to No. 7 USC with a commanding victory over No. 16 North Florida on day one of the Best in the West tournament in Laguna Beach, Calif. 

The Cardinal opened the day with a tough 4-1 loss to No. 7 USC. Stanford’s lone point came from sophomore Chloe Hoffman and freshman Logan Tusher, who defeated Madison Goellner and Kaileigh Truslow in straight sets, 21-16, 21-17. Despite the scoreline, it was a closely contested dual, with USC winning all other matches without a margin greater than four points per set.

Stanford rebounded impressively against No. 16 North Florida, sweeping the Ospreys 5-0. Hoffman and Tusher delivered the first point on court four with a 21-15, 21-13 win. Senior Taylor Wilson and sophomore Ruby Sora followed with a 21-16, 21-13 victory on court two. The clinching point came from junior Daria Gusarova and sophomore Clara Stowell, who rolled to a 21-14, 21-12 win on court five. The top pair of sophomore Brooke Rockwell and freshman Avery Jackson, along with the No. 3 pair of junior Kelly Belardi and freshman Charlotta Bell, both bounced back from their losses to USC with straight-set wins to complete the sweep.

Stanford wraps up its time at the Best in the West tournament on Saturday with matches against No. 19 Washington at 8 a.m. and No. 11 Long Beach State at 11 a.m. Live scoring updates may be periodically provided here.
