STANFORD, Calif. — A busy weekend slate awaits Stanford women's swimming & diving, inlcuding a second appearance in the College Swimming League and the season debut of the Cardinal divers.
Stanford heads to Walnut, Calif., for its second CSL regular season match on Friday, Oct. 16 at Mt. SAC Aquatics Center. The Cardinal will compete against California, Indiana, and NC State with a trip to the CSL postseason on the line. The meet will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will stream live on ESPN+.Â
The CSL is a new, dynamic league poised to revolutionize college swimming with high-octane, fan-focused competition. The league's first season will feature a six-match regular season and a two-match postseason in a four-team format during the fall season, with each participating institution competing in two regular-season matches.
Programs will field a roster of 28 swimmers — 14 men and 14 women. Each CSL match has 30 events: 15 for the men and 15 for the women. The four teams earn points based on their combined men’s and women’s scores.

Teams 4th-7th in the standings will compete in the CSL Wild Card on Nov. 5 for the final spot in Friday's final.
Stanford will also send a contingent of divers to Berkeley for a two-day meet against California and NC State on Oct. 16-17. 1-meter and 3-meter dives will take place on Friday, followed by platform diving on Saturday. Action begins at 11 a.m. PT both days, with results available on DiveMeets.com.
