STANFORD, Calif. -
This week's live Stanford TV, radio and webcast schedule listed below.
Baseball
Brett Mooneyham struck out a career-best 13 in Friday's 4-2 loss at Washington. It was the most strikeouts for a Cardinal pitcher since Erik Davis struck out 13 in 2008. The lefthander threw all eight innings for the Cardinal, giving up just four runs (two earned) on four hits, while walking two. Mooneyham finished his night by striking out seven of the final eight, which began with the the final two Huskies in the sixth, the side in the seventh and the first two batters in the eighth.
Lacrosse
The game-winning sudden-death goal by Karen Nesbitt did not only send Stanford to the MPSF championship on Sunday, but it advances the Cardinal to the NCAA play-in game Saturday against UMass. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the goal was Stanford was down two players at the time, after a pair of yellow cards given to Cardinal players.
Sailing
Justin Doane skippered the Cardinal, crewed by Katie Jewett, into June's national dinghy finals at the University of Wisconsin with a ninth-place finish at the ICSA National Dinghy Semifinals in Seattle. Needing a strong finish to move into the 18-team field, Doane and Jewett won the final race, securing the final West Regional spot. Cardinal sailing was not the only team in Seattle this past weekend. Just down the road, the Cardinal baseball team played at the University of Washington. Both teams stayed in the same hotel by the UW campus.
Softball
The Stanford softball team welcomed back its alumni from the 1980s. Former Cardinal players gathered at Smith Family Stadium for Stanford's game versus UCLA on Saturday, Apr. 24. The group enjoyed one another's company while reminiscing about their days on The Farm.
Men's tennis
With their win over fellow Americans John Isner and Sam Querrey in the finals of the Rome Masters, Bob and Mike Bryan have moved to within one victory of matching the record for most doubles titles in the Open Era. The Bryan brothers have now won 60 doubles titles, one shy of the Open record held by the retired Australian pair of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde - known as the Woodies.
Men's Track and Field
Dylan Ferris ran a personal best of 3:40.07 in the 1,500 meters to win the Payton Jordan Invitational last Saturday. The time was the ninth-fastest in school history, which is an achievement on a Stanford 1,500-meter list that is one of the most decorated in any sport, with four Olympians in the top 10.
Women's Track and Field
Katerina Stefanidi won the women's pole vault with a mark of 13-10½ at the Payton Jordan Invitational. After she already had the competition locked up, the sophomore attempted 4.38 meters, or 14-4½, which would have been a personal best and a Stanford record. Stefanidi barely missed, but perhaps offered a glimpse of her potential later this season.
Men's volleyball
The No. 1 Stanford men's volleyball team hopes to complete a "Worst to First" journey that began in 2007 when the current senior class endured a 3-25 season as freshmen. That class, which includes All-Americans Kawika Shoji and Evan Romero, now hopes to lead the Cardinal to its second-ever NCAA title and first since 1997, at the NCAA Championships Thursday and Saturday at Maples Pavilion. Stanford takes on Ohio State, a team that the Cardinal has never lost to, in Thursday's 8 p.m. semifinal.
Women's Water Polo
Stanford also made its 10th National Collegiate Championship field, continuing its streak as the only team to have appeared in all 10 editions of the tournament since its inception in 2001. The Cardinal won its only national title in 2002. The Cardinal received the No. 1 for the eight-team event May 14-16 in San Diego, despite losing in the semifinals of the MPSF Tournament.
