QUICK STICKS
- No. 14 Stanford takes on its first Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Saturday, March 22. The Cardinal earned the No. 2 seed and will compete against No. 1 seed California, No. 3 seed NC State, and No. 4 seed North Carolina at the Greensboro Complex.
- Stanford's first appearance at the ACC Championship is slated to start at 4 p.m. PT and will be televised on the ACC Network with Bart Conner as the play-by-play broadcaster, Bridget Sloan as the broadcast's analyst and Taylor Tannenbaum as the network's reporter.
- Then- No. 13 Stanford completed its regular-season slate Sunday, earning its third-best road score of the year with a 196.975 at the Haas Quad Meet #2 in Berkeley, Calif. Host No. 6 California won the meet with a team total of 197.675, followed by the Cardinal’s 196.975, Arizona State’s 196.250 and San Jose State’s 194.150. Junior Taralyn Nguyen won her first event title of the season with a 2025-best vault of 9.925, the last routine of the meet for the Cardinal. Freshman Ui Soma won her second bars title of the year, posting a collegiate-best matching 9.950.
- Then-No. 13 Stanford Cardinal delivered a stellar performance on senior night, celebrating Anapaula Gutierrez and Brenna Neault with a 197.175-196.475 victory over No. 18 Denver inside Maples Pavilion March 14. Stanford’s score of 197.175 marked its fourth home meet of the 2025 season scoring 197.000 or better—the first time since at least 1999 that the team has achieved this feat in every home competition. Gutierrez claimed her first event title of the year on vault with a 9.900, while junior Anna Roberts secured her fourth all-around (39.450) and floor (9.900) titles of the season.
- Freshman Ui Soma won the first weekly award of her young collegiate career Tuesday, named the final ACC Freshman of the Week for her efforts against both No. 18 Denver, and No. 6 California, Arizona State and San Jose State. The Belmont, Calif. native earned a share of the bars title at the Haas Quad Meet #2, winning only the second event title of her career. She has hit eight straight bars routines scoring at least a 9.825 and is the only conference freshman to earn a score of 9.950 on the apparatus throughout the season.
- Five members of the Stanford women’s gymnastics team have been named to the All-ACC Gymnastics Team, the league announced Monday afternoon. The Cardinal’s five different selectees are the most of any ACC program and tie the program’s record for all-conference awardees in a single season (5 different athletes also earned all-conference honors in 2009, 2010, and 2011). Junior Anna Roberts was honored as one of the conference's best on Vault, Bars, and Floor, one of only five athletes to earn more than one all-conference recognition. Freshman Ui Soma was selected to the all-conference team for her bars efforts throughout the season, one of only two freshmen in the league to be honored as all-ACC team members. Senior Brenna Neault and sophomores Temple Landry and Sienna Robinson each earned nods to the All-ACC team for their beam performances in 2025 as the Cardinal led the way with the most all-conference selections on the apparatus.
- Stanford has earned a 197.000-or-better score in six meets this season. The Cardinal's record for scores of 197.000 or better in a single season is seven, earned in 2004. In that season, Stanford finished the year tied for third place at NCAAs, as the program made its second-ever appearance at the NCAA Super Six. The Cardinal will look to match its program record for scores of 197.000 or better in a single season in its first appearance at the ACC Championship.
- The 2025 ACC Championship marks the Cardinal's final chance to improve its NQS before the NCAA Regional Championship selections are made. NQS averages a program's top six scores, dropping the highest, with the caveat that three of the calculated scores must have been earned on the road. Any score above 196.925 at the conference championships will improve Stanford's NQS entering selection Monday.
