Nice summary M T, thanks.  I agree Berty had plenty of chances and most often did not put heat on the ball.  My hope would be when Francis comes back she would play OH although I don't know if she can pass well enough.

While Stanford looked good against Temple, here's the problem.  The competitive level between Temple and Stanford's next six opponents is the difference between night and day.

Can Stanford win any of its next six matches?  It's not likely but Stanford fans can hope for at least one upset along the way.  If Francis comes back I believe Stanford might be able to make up enough ground in conference to get a .500 overall W/L record to be eligible for the NCAA tournament.

I think Stanford has the best chance against Florida if it's going to win one more non-conference contest.
