The Stanford Cardinal heads to Philadelphia and Talen Energy Stadium for the 2017 College Cup, an achievement the team has gotten fairly familiar with during the past three seasons.
Stanford's trip to the College Cup is their third consecutive such trip. In their previous two trips, Stanford has hoisted the College Cup trophy.
However, this installment comes with the lowest seeding of the three trips. In 2015, the Cardinal was ranked No. 8, and improved that to a No. 5 seed in 2016. This year, the team was a No. 9 seed.
In terms of the tournament so far though, Stanford's run is very similar to their first title in 2015.
