Third-ranked STANFORD (16-1) remained unbeaten in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play with a 13-8 home win against ninth-ranked UC Santa Barbara... Sophomore driver Jacob Smith scored a team-best five goals, earning conference Player of the Week honors... He is the fourth Cardinal player to win such an award this season, joining brothers Drac and Janson Wigo...
