Welcome BACK!!!


And we are back at it! Our fall season has officially ended with Thanksgiving and Finals coming up! We thought a little recap of our fall would be helpful for an intro before Season starts!

School started off with a bang and we got right into meeting the new members to our team! We took a nice, musically filled car ride up to Stinson Beach and had a night full of s'mores, stories, and some good ol' Stanford bonding! We learned that Julia is not afraid of picking up odd objects on the beach, like FULL DEAD CRABS! and that Gabby really loves to stand in "quick sand"... the team took a nice stroll down to the point and found this AMAZING tree! Of course, we instantly wanted to take a model shot...

Then came ALUMNI GAME! It was great to play with and against the alums and watch our Seniors play their last one as a player! I'm pretty sure all the goalies played as field players and Kate Baldoni and Gabby having a few goals each! The alums beat us by a few goals, but we'll get 'em next year!


Lastly, we ended pre-season with the best tradition out there, FRESHMAN SYNCHRO! Our freshman danced to "Ice, Ice Baby" - a true classic. They performed at half time of Big Splash and made the crowd roar with their fabulous dance and water moves. We were all very proud and they really gave our team some inspiration because Stanford came back to WIN the game after their show... that is some real team spirit right there! Here is a look at their stellar performance!


Hope EVERYONE has a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

Lots of love!

Stanford "THANKFUL FOR OUR" Team :)

Breakfast of Champions


This past weekend, we had the pleasure of staying at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley. Aside from its beautiful views of the bay and overall glamorous atmosphere, it had the BEST food we have had during a travel trip. Not your average hotel continental breakfast!

Eggs Benedict


Poached Eggs with Asparagus and Avocado Salsa on Brioche


Fresh Fruit with Vanilla Bean Yogurt


Complimentary Biscuits with Apricot Compote


And of course, a morning Latte!



Needless to say, we were just a little bit spoiled. Definitely a breakfast fit for champions!

Senior Day


This past weekend our team celebrated the class of 2013 with Senior Day. At our game against UCLA (which we won 8-1 whoop whoop) the seniors were introduced and everyone in the stands got to see how amazing they all are.



Later on everyone’s families met up at Buca d Beppo downtown for a dinner honoring the seniors. Everyone had so much fun and the food was delicious. However, my personal favorite part of the evening was the freshman rap. The freshman had some big shoes to fill because my class killed it last year, but the freshies definitely gave us a run for our money. They serenaded the crowd to the tune of the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” and did an amazing job.



Senior day was a huge success and was a perfect way to honor the hard work of all of the seniors over the past 4 (or 5) years. Everyone in the senior class had an incredible final home game and Avery Aquatic Center will miss them!
