The Farm Report: October 26

Davis Warren threw for 303 yards and four touchdowns to lead Stanford to a 31-28 victory over North Carolina State on Friday night.

Stanford started fast with Warren throwing touchdown passes on the first two drives to Brown and Sedrick Irvin for a 14-0 lead

Warren then led a 90-yard drive in the final 2 minutes of the first half to put the Cardinal up 21-14 on his 26-yard touchdown pass to High with 25 seconds remaining. 

Julia Blyashov recorded a career-high 26 kills to lead No. 15 Stanford past Duke, 26-24, 25-22, 21-25, 31-29, Friday, at Cameron Indoor Arena.

Setter Logan Parks controlled the offense with a season-best 58 assists and recorded five digs, a kill and an ace. The sophomore also matched her season-high with four blocks. Libero Spencer Etzler tied for a match-high 21 digs – her fourth 20-plus dig performance of the season.

Stanford (13-6, 6-3 ACC) improved to 9-0 all-time against Duke (13-6, 5-4 ACC). The Cardinal registered a season-high 69 kills and 80 against the Blue Devils.

The No. 2 Cardinal moved to 15-2 this weekend. 

To open the weekend, Forer scored four times in an ultimate 18-15 overtime win against No.9 Long Beach State.

In the first overtime period against Long Beach State, Forer scored his third goal of the game to push the Cardinal ahead at 16-15. Then under a minute into the second overtime, Balogh scored his second of the day to make it a two-goal advantage.

Forer added his fourth goal of the game with just two seconds left to play, putting the exclamation point on the overtime win and making it an 18-15 final.

Their second win of the weekend saw a balanced attack with nine different players scoring in the win, including five multi-goal scorers.

Ryan Ohl opened up the second half with his second goal of the day, putting the Cardinal right back onto the scoreboard to make it 9-3. The Card kept adding to the lead for the rest of the half, outscoring the Tritons 4-3 in the third and 3-2 in the fourth to cap the win.

Stanford returns to The Farm to close the regular season with four-straight games at home. First up is a critical MPSF weekend, hosting No. 3 USC on Saturday then No. 1 UCLA on Sunday. Both games will begin at 1:00 p.m. PT, and will be streamed on Overnight. Tickets for both games are still available at Tickets.GoStanford.com.

Sophomore transfer Charlotte Tuhy led everyone with 15 rebounds, including five in the first quarter and six more in the third. She was responsible for the game’s highlight, sinking a half-court shot as the third-quarter buzzer sounded to push Stanford’s lead to 54-28.

Sophomore Hailee Swain led the charge with a game-high 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting and junior Shay Ijiwoye had 16 on 6-of-10 shooting, including going 4-of-8 from behind the arc.

Stanford has one final preseason tuneup when it hosts UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday, October 28 at 6 p.m.

Grumet posted wins on five consecutive days to reach the tournament final, which was canceled to leave him as a co-champion with Cal’s Lenn Luemkemann. 

He won all 10 sets throughout his five matches, defeating opponents from Saint Mary’s, Portland, Washington and Santa Clara to reach the quarterfinals. 

As multiple Stanford players saw success in the tournament, Grumet punched his ticket to the NCAA Championships with a win over his teammate, fellow freshman Ronit Karki, in the semifinals, 6-3, 7-5.

The NCAA Singles Championships are set for Nov. 17-22 in Athens, Georgia.

Since joining Stanford, Warren has been one of the best in the league when it comes to taking care of the ball. Most notably, Warren began the season with 167 pass attempts before throwing his first interception. Warren leads the ACC in passing attempts (234) and has thrown just two interceptions. 

Beyond football, Warren has become a passionate advocate for cancer patients, building lasting relationships with young patients and their families through regular hospital visits. He has continued this work at Stanford by organizing visits to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, using his personal experience to encourage and support children facing serious health challenges.

Three finalists will be named for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award on Tuesday, December 15. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on March 11, 2027.
