STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford was honored with six selections to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team, as announced Tuesday by Commissioner Larry Scott.
To be eligible for selection to the Pac-12 All-Academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and compete in at least 50 percent of the team's matches. Freshmen are not eligible for consideration.
Headlining the group was junior Emily Arbuthnott (4.14 – Economics), who was the Cardinal's lone representative named to the first team. Arbuthnott was also Stanford's only first-team pick in 2018.
Stanford was also represented with five honorable mention picks in sophomore Janice Shin (3.44 – Undeclared), junior Emma Higuchi (3.42 – Human Biology), sophomore Michaela Gordon (3.38 – Undeclared), senior Caroline Lampl (3.34 – Science, Technology and Society) and senior Melissa Lord (3.24 – Public Policy).
Lampl and Lord are three-time honorable mention selections while Higuchi earned honorable mention status in 2018. Shin and Gordon are first-time recipients.
Defending NCAA champion Stanford (25-1, 10-0 Pac-12) next travels to the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, where the final eight teams will compete for the NCAA title from May 17-19. Stanford will face Pepperdine (24-3, 9-0 WCC) on Friday, May 17, in the quarterfinals.
Riding a 20-match winning streak as one of the hottest teams in the country, Stanford is predictably clicking at the right time of year once again. The Cardinal is 47-5 during the month of May since 2010, a stretch that has produced four NCAA titles (2010, 2013, 2016, 2018).
The most decorated program in college history and the winningest program on The Farm, Stanford has won 19 of the possible 37 NCAA championships. Stanford owns a 156-19 all-time record in the postseason since the NCAA Tournament went to its present format in 1982. The Cardinal has won 20 national titles overall in school history, also claiming the 1978 AIAW crown.
