So frustrated yesterday watching our women

Felt like we had the better team but our team was just too darn sloppy with the ball. The number of thoughtless turnovers was pretty frustrating.

Really enjoyed watch this team and will miss the seniors who helped us win a national championship. Stinks that their last game in Maples will end in defeat.

Best of luck to the seniors!

New Commit 2023 DB Adam Rourke (PWO)

Stanford has officially announced that 2023 defensive back Adam Rourke will be coming on board as a a preferred walk-on. Troy Taylor already spilled the beans on this during his signing day presser, but now it's officially official. The other PWO who he spilled the beans on is 2023 wide receiver Tyler Kuo. Just don't know when that will be officially offical, but when it is, I'll create a new thread for that unless someone else already does. Gotta give the PWOs some love with their own thread!

Rourke also plays baseball and is listed as a right-handed pitcher by Perfect Game. I'll see if I can find out what his baseball prospects are, but if he has a profile on Perfect Game, it's possible the baseball team will take him on as an extra arm.

NCAA Wrestling Championships

No wrestlers in the finals (sort of) as we finished way back at 26th. We sent six wrestlers to the tournament with Shane Griffiths our top finisher at 5th. Five of Six scored some points but Shane scored more points than the others combined What was significant was that after Shane won his 5th place bout, he received a standing O from the 15,000 spectators.

"165: No. 9 Shane Griffith outlasts No. 3 Dean Hamiti 4-1
Dean Hamiti is a scrambling machine. No takedowns, but the Badger is on the board first with an escape to start the second period. Griffith gets a takedown halfway through the third, and he has a 3-1 lead. Shane Griffith holds on, and the Cardinal is a fifth-place finisher, while Wisconsin's Dean Hamiti takes sixth for the second year in a row. The crowd rewards Shane Griffith for all of his contributions to Stanford University and the sport of wrestling. He earns a standing ovation as Jason Bryant remind the arena of Griffith's national championship in 2021 and his role in helping to save Stanford wrestling. "

5th place match: https://www.ncaa.com/video/wrestlin...uarterfinal-2023-ncaa-wrestling-championships

During the interview, Shane was pretty choked up and the announcer pointed out the standing ovation he was getting for saving Stanford wrestling. He has a covid year so may wrestle another year, and I wonder if he's considering a grad transfer.

In my first sentence, I said not wrestlers in the finals (sort of). Real Woods at 141 transferred from Stanford to Iowa, He was a two time All America at Stanford. At Iowa, he is #1 ranked and is in the finals today. Woods transferring was not an endorsement of our current coach Koll. Koll was hired because of his success at Cornell Right now, Cornell is in 4th place and has a good chance at a podium finish with two wrestlers in the finals, both recruited under Koll.

Congrats to Shane and as the announcer said, he'll forever be remembered as the man that saved Stanford wrestling

Ballo's Bobbles...

and Arizona folds.
Wildcats blow a 15 pt lead led by numerous Ballo Bobbles... their big inside guy still not yet skilled enough.
And Tubelis, who is, also bobbled that key late-game inbounds.
Arizona's guards outplayed by Princeton's..
Altogether, Arizona offense sputtered off peak/out of synch, and their D was p-poor.
Deserved Princeton win.

Visiting Stanford and looking to attend tennis and baseball

Hi all - our family is visiting Stanford tomorrow as our daughter is a HS junior. We were looking to attend the tennis and baseball games at Stanford Friday while we’re there.

I saw I can get baseball tickets on StubHub, but how do you get tennis tickets? On the GoStanford page when I click on the tennis link it doesn’t mention anything about getting tickets.

Thanks!!
