How do folks feel about our chances to add a 49th year to the streak? Looks like the Cardinal is in contention in several sports, ranked 1st in WGolf, but not an overwhelming favorite in any sport.
Men's Gymnastics - Ranked 3rd
Women's Water Polo - Ranked 2nd
Women's Golf - Ranked 1st
Women's Rowing - Ranked ??? (1st in Reg 5)
What do you folks think our chances are to extend the streak? Any other Cardinal team likely to emerge as a championship threat?
I don't think it will be MVB (11-12)...and yet...they just beat #3 ranked USC two straight matches in Southern California. USC was undefeated at home in league play. Stanford plays last year's champion, Grand Canyon, at Maples this Thursday and Friday. Both teams are 4-6 in league play. If Stanford wins both, they'll join the great middle of teams with .500 records. They've got a puncher's chance, but not much beyond that.
