Several Stanford teams took the field, court and pool over the weekend to start or continue conference play. Here’s a summary of the weekend’s festivities brought to you by The Daily’s sportswriters. Click on each hyperlink to be directed to the recap of the game.

  • On Saturday No. 18 football crushed Arizona 55-17 in another impressive performance by the offense.
  • No. 3 men’s soccer took on rival Cal on Sunday, winning its first conference game and its eighth game in a row.
