Serving up a title contender
To avoid partaking in a little slice of unwanted history, the Stanford women's volleyball team is delving deep into its own archives. Not since the Cardinal captured the first of its six NCAA titles in 1992 has the program gone four full years without a national championship. (Thursday, 2:51 PM)

 Keeping focus on team goals
Tim Jones would have preferred Stanford win a few more men's soccer games during his freshman season, but you won't find him complaining. The progress since then gives the senior defender hope for a successful end to his college career.
Jones worked himself into the starting lineup eight games into his first year on The Farm and has been there ever since. He's working on 46 consecutive starts, the last 36 in a winning environment. (Thursday, 3:01 PM)
 Pritchard named Stanford's starter for Oregon St.
Jim Harbaugh said it was too close to call all the way up to Monday's press conference.
Stanford's second-year football coach officially named Tavita Pritchard the starting quarterback on Monday, four days before the Cardinal opens its season at home against Oregon State at 6 p.m. (Monday, 1:39 PM)
 Stanford looking for a bowl berth
Spring football camp suddenly seems like a distant memory. What began as a three-way battle for the starting quarterback position has finally been settled. Senior Tavita Pritchard, the incumbent, held off fierce challenges from Junior Alex Loukas and senior Jason Forcier. Tonight it's time to bear the fruits of Stanford's labor when Oregon State visits for a 6 p.m. kickoff. (Thursday, 10:39 AM)
 Field hockey looking for a repeat performance
In case anyone missed it, the Stanford field hockey team had a sensational season last year, recording a winning record for the first time in six years and reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time in eight years. The Cardinal, with nine returning starters, is poised for better things ahead. Stanford (13-8 last year, the second-most wins in program history) opens the season with a home match against Drexel on Saturday at 1 p.m. (Wednesday, 12:27 AM)
 Unity brings gold, silver to volleyball teams
The truth always makes for a better story, and not even the best of fiction writers could conceive of events so surreal in Beijing these past two weeks.
The United States men's volleyball team rose above tragedy, and rode the amazingly broad shoulders of its coach Hugh McCutcheon to an Olympic gold medal. (Monday, 10:20 AM)
