Pretty devastating for the 5th years, but I'm not surprised by the result.
This team just doesn't have the swagger of their immediate predecessor:
 
Freshman Class of 2016 PLUMMER / HENTZ / GRAY / FITZMORRIS
(add McCLURE and once-in-a-blue-moon transfer GATES)

and, more importantly, the consistency to stay at the highest level.

So looking at next season, 
Stanford will have returning starters:

Jr RUBIN at OH1 
Sr MINER at S
Sr FRANCIS at MB1 
Sr OGLIVIE at L

And then most likely:

So BLYASHOV/ RSFr KURT at OH2  (replaces BAIRD)
So HARVEY at OPP                        (replaces KIPP)
Fr ANDREWS at MB2                     (replaces VICINI)
