The Cardinal bounced back from a tough week one lost against St. Mary's to defeat UC Davis 29-12 in their home opener. The match featured a much improved performance from Stanford, including a stifling defensive effort, that featured multiple big tackles and a shut out until the closing minutes of the match. Stanford Coach Matt Sherman acknowledged that the performance was a big improvement from week one to week two, 'I'm very proud of our guys, we were taught a lot of harsh lessons in a difficult loss last week, but they got busy working on improving from that performance, and they successfully applied much of what we worked on this past week in the game today.'
In the 2nd XV game, Stanford fell to a big and physical UC Davis 2nd XV 24-17. Despite the loss, the team, featuring many underclassmen, improved their performance from the previous week as Coach Sherman noted, 'Despite the result, I think the team played stronger and improved from the previous week which is the most important thing. We have many very good athletes and committed players, and I see many of them competing soon for a first XV spot, which will only make are overall team stronger.'
