The last six NorPac women’s field hockey finals have featured Bay Area rivals Stanford and Cal. This season, only one-half of the field was the same as No. 14 Stanford took on upstart Liberty University. The unfamiliar opponent didn’t faze the Cardinal (15-6, 6-0 NorPac) as it posted a 3-0 win to earn its fifth NorPac title in six years.
After winning its second game of the season Friday against No. 6 Penn State, the No. 1 Stanford women’s soccer team (2-1) had its win streak snapped at 25 games by unranked West Virginia (2-2) at the Penn State Invitational on Sunday.

The field hockey team received some good news on the eve of its first game of the NorPac Championships last night, as five players and coach Tara Danielson earned all-conference honors at the conference awards banquet.
No Stanford sport had a game on Monday, but that didn’t stop the Cardinal from having a busy day. Andrew Luck, Karissa Cook, Ale Moss and Alex McCawley all earned recognition from their conferences for their work this past week
