STANFORD, Calif. – Jordan Raney collected her league-record fifth MPSF/Kap7 Newcomer of the Week honor when the conference announced its weekly awards on Tuesday afternoon.
The freshman, who has now won the award in three consecutive weeks, previously received recognition on February 24, March 10, April 7 and April 14.
Raney continued her strong play in No. 1 Stanford’s 7-3 victory at No. 4 California to wrap up the regular season on Thursday. Stanford’s only multi-goal performer, she scored the Cardinal’s first by converting one of its nine 6-on-5 opportunities just over a minute into the game. She also put home Stanford’s sixth when she one-timed a perfect pass from Gurpreet Sohi low and left into the cage in the third quarter.
Raney is seventh on the team with 22 goals and has scored in each of the past four games, including three multi-goal efforts.
The win against the Golden Bears, Stanford’s 39th consecutive regular-season MPSF victory, secured the Cardinal’s sixth consecutive unblemished league campaign. Stanford owns the No. 1 seed in this weekend’s conference tournament in Tempe, Arizona by virtue of its 6-0 MPSF record and will head into that first taste of postseason action 21-1 overall and winners of 10 straight.
As the top seed, Stanford has a bye into the semifinals and will play the winner of No. 4 California and No. 5 Arizona State on Saturday, April 25 at 2:30 p.m. Tournament information, including a link to a live stream of all games, can be found here.
