Stanford begins at 7:10 am pacific.
1. Ye vs. Starkute
2. Englemann vs. V. Hou
3. Seay vs. Chang
4. Krauter vs. Y. Hou
5. Heck vs. Warner
Lead off and anchor are the 2 best players. Frosh Englemann who has struggled (only 3 birdies in the final 3 rounds) is in the 2nd spot which may relieve a little pressure.
Btw, don't look at the stroke play results and use that as a predictor of match play success. Match play is a different animal.
This is it! This is what the team has worked all season for - to qualify for match play and have a chance to win it all. Let's go, Stanford!! Let's hope for a long and successful day tomorrow.

If they had played today (keeping in mind that the strategy in match play would have been different):
Ye (2) and Starkute (5) would have been all square after 18
Englemann (3) would lost to Hou (2) 2 and 1.
Seay (4) would have beaten Chang (3) 1-up.
Krauter (5) and Hou (1) would have been all square after 18
Heck (1) and Warner (4) would have been all square after 18
So, today we would have headed to extra holes in three of the matches. I haven't looked, but I suspect that on any other day we would have won going away. Doing what you said not to do, Ye ended up 12 strokes ahead of Starkute for the tournament; Engleman ended up 5 strokes ahead of Hou in the tournament; Seay ended up 10 strokes ahead of Chang for the tournament; Krauter ended up 1 stroke behind Hou; and Heck wound up 20 strokes ahead of Warner.
I think if you are Arizona, you like how the match-up turned up.
