Stanford Women Cap Perfect Season With #1 Ranking
For the second-straight year, the Stanford Cardinal conclude the dual meet season atop the Division I Women's CSCAA / TYR Top 25.
Stanford capped a perfect 8-0 season with a dominating 177-123 win over previously second-ranked California. Stanford has won 15 straight dual meets dating back to its last visit to Cal in February 2015.
Cal finished the season 7-2 overall and 6-1 against the Pac-12 and the loss dropped the Golden Bears to third behind an 11-1 Texas team. The lone Longhorn setback came at Stanford. Texas' season did include a signature win over 4th ranked Georgia, which finished the season 8-1.
California and Stanford will now turn their attention to the Pac 12 Conference Championships and next month's NCAA Championships while Georgia will begin the SEC Championships today.
