StreaksStanford has won 29 straight dual meets. The Cardinal's last defeat in a dual was to No. 3 Cal on Feb. 14, 2015—which also marks a string of 27 straight Pac-12 dual meet victories since that loss. The Cardinal has also won 19 straight dual meets at home dating back to Oct. 30, 2014 against Texas (156-144).
Last Time OutLast weekend, Stanford swept the Los Angeles schools and celebrated the final home duals of its three seniors -- Ella Eastin, Leah Stevens and Kim Williams. So far, the senior class has combined for 11 Pac-12 titles, 13 national titles and 23 All-America honors.That includes back-to-back Pac-12 and NCAA team championships in 2017 and 2018.
On Feb. 1, behind a pool record from Eastin and victories from seven different Cardinal, Stanford beat No. 20 UCLA, 168-123, at Avery Aquatic Center (a full recap is here). The following day, behind two more pool records from Eastin, Stanford topped No. 14 USC, 187-107. A full recap is here.
Avery AdditionAvery Aquatic Center received a large-sized upgrade during the offseason. The new scoreboard will serve all of Stanford's aquatic sports including the men's and women's swimming and diving programs, both water polo teams and synchronized swimming.
New scoreboard at Avery is just awesome! #GoStanford
