The Stanford women brought home their third consecutive Capital One Cup this year. The award is given out to the best overall D-1 men’s and women’s athletics programs, which once again was the Cardinal women by a fair margin. Championships in swim & dive, volleyball, tennis, and water polo paced the runaway victory.
The athletes were honored at the ESPY Awards earlier this month in Los Angeles. Presenting the Capital One Cup to Stanford was Christen Press, the Utah Royals FC and USWNT star fresh off a World Cup triumph. She most notably scored one of the two goals in the semifinal victory over England.
