I assume our ambitions are greater than just dancing.

Yes. Under Coach Allister the team has improved to 5th/6th in the Pac 12 from 9th during the Hanson years. They've gone from 0 or 2 Pac 12 wins under Hanson to 9 last year.
Under Coach Allister I expect Stanford to get back to a Super Regional for the first time since 2011.
Preseason NFCA ranking has Stanford in the Receiving votes category outside the Top 25.
It's been a long road back from zero Pac 12 wins in 2013.
Geaux Cardinal!

Correct. I meant to say 2016 when the team went 0-24 in the Pac-12 under Coach Hanson, not 2013 when they won 13 Pac-12 games and placed 4th under Coach Rittman.
For me as a fan, the next goals are finishing 4th or better in the Pac-12, making a Super Regional, a top 25 finish, and contributing points to the Directors' Cup.
Geaux Cardinal!

Well, Big Easy Card, Coach Allister, IMO, scheduled like we are aiming for a Super Regional this year after making the Regional Final last year (Home field advantage has become increasingly important in softball, with big NCAA tourney crowds particularly in SEC, Big 12 and Pac). As such, by far our best chance of making a Super is getting a Top 16 seed and hosting in the tourney. This year, we scheduled a very tough non-conference schedule, with games in the non-conference at Missouri (x2), at Oklahoma State (x2), neutral Minnesota, neutral Northwestern, at Nebraska, on top of a home game against BYU, a road game at SDSU (which we won last night), and 2 at home against Fresno State.

Stanford finishes off the weekend with a solid 5-0 win over Cal Poly. All in all,
a solid opening tourney performance for the Cardinal (only loss to Boise State,
who has become a bit of a tough opponent for us after we lost to them
twice in the Gainesville regional in 2019; very good offensive team).
But ultimately, Stanford SB under Coach Allister continues to do the things it needs to do to make tourneys
and improve seeding, namely taking care of business against weaker opponents.
