BRIEF: Lacrosse wins first two conference matches

April 8, 2010, 12:41 a.m.

The No. 11 Stanford women’s lacrosse team defeated its first two Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) opponents on the road.

On Friday, the Cardinal (8-4, 2-0 MPSF) dominated conference cellar-dweller Fresno State with a 19-4 blowout in Fresno, Calif. Senior attacker Amanda Schwab led Stanford with four goals, as the Cardinal clearly outmatched the host Bulldogs, who are only in their second year as a varsity program.

Just two days later, Stanford easily defeated Bay Area rival California in Berkeley, 12-7. The day belonged to senior attacker Claire Hubbard, whose four assists against the Golden Bears brought her career total up to 72 assists — a Stanford record. Redshirt junior midfielder Lauren Schmidt led the Cardinal with three goals as her team won its third consecutive match.

Stanford continues its MPSF play with a road match at Denver on Sunday at 1 p.m. PST before closing out the regular season with three straight home matches.
