Three straight losses, dropping out of the national rankings, playing two top-five teams in a one week span while stuck in a ninth-place tie with the University of Pacific in the West Coast Conference Standings.
These were the circumstances that the Pepperdine Women’s Soccer team faced heading into their matchup on Friday versus the #2-ranked Stanford Cardinal. They had the entire week to prepare for the matchup after last Friday’s loss versus Cal Poly.
Stanford is the third top 25 opponent that Pepperdine has played this season.
