SERIES HISTORY VS. OPPONENTS
β’ STANFORD: The Cardinal hold the all-time series advantage, 57-31, but UW has won 4 of the last 5 series. Last year in Seattle, the Huskies won the first two games of the series (7-0, 4-2) and came within three outs of a sweep and clinching their first Pac-12 title since 1998, but Stanford scored three in the 9th to rally for a 6-5 win. Stanford swept the 2017 series in Palo Alto to stop a streak of three-straight series wins by the Huskies. Under the direction of Lindsay Meggs, the Huskies are 14-13 against the Cardinal, including 12-6 over the last 18 games. The first time these two teams met was in 1912. UW won two of three in that series and were 5-4 overall in that season. Β
β’ SANTA CLARA: The Huskies lead the all-time series, 16-9, and have won 11 for the last 13 games in the series. The teams last met to open the 2017 season with UW winning 2 of 3 games. The first game between the two squads was 105 years ago in 1912 when the Huskies won 3-1. The teams did not meet again until 1960.Β
