Stanford baseball puts 11-1 record and No. 2 ranking on the line against Rice this weekend by Rick Eymer tanford baseball coach Mark Marquess doesn’t mind being wrong when it comes to his preseason prediction. He suggested the Cardinal would not be ranked as high as second after the first few weeks of the season. Marquess thought with the tough nonconference schedule, the (still) second-ranked Cardinal (11-1) would have suffered a few more losses and dipped in the rankings. For the sake of full disclosure, Marquess did say he hoped he was wrong. Stanford continues its tough schedule this weekend, when fourthranked Rice (12-2) visits for a threegame series beginning with Friday’s 5:30 p.m. opener, which pits two of the nation’s marquee pitchers in Cardinal Mark Appel (2-1, 3.68) and Owls’ Matthew Reckling (2-0, 0.82). Rice sports a team ERA of 2.88, with Andrew Benak (2-0, 1.04) and Jordan Stephens (1-0, 1.88) also expected to pitch this weekend. Appel will be followed by Brett Mooneyham (3-0, 1.71) and Josh

in a quarterfinal game of the Pac-12 Conference tournament. Chiney Ogwumike scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 18 points and seven rebounds as the second-ranked Cardinal beat Washington, 76-57, Thursday afternoon at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. “We took care of the ball, we focused on the scouting report and we were able to make adjustments,� VanDerveer said. “We still have things to work on. Chiney is our top rebounder and she is relentless on the glass. We need other people to follow in her footsteps.� Samuelson added 11 points as the women’s tournament moves to the Staples Center on Friday and the Cardinal (29-1) will meet either Arizona or Arizona State at noon in a semifinal. Saturday’s championship contest is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. “I’ve been watching the Lakers play since I was little,� Samuelson

we’ve faced all year,� McGuff said. “They have tremendous length, they tip a lot of balls, get into passing lanes and keep you off the boards.� Men’s basketball Chasson Randle scored 27 of his career high 30 points in the first half and Stanford advanced to the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, beating Arizona State, 85-65, Wednesday night. The seventh-seeded Cardinal (21-10) got another chance at second-seeded California in Thursday night’s game. Stanford beat the Bears on Sunday to knock them out of a first place tie with Washington. If Stanford was able to get past Cal, the Cardinal likely would play No. 3 Oregon in Friday’s semifinals, with a good chance of reaching Saturday’s finals. Randle set a tournament record with his first-half scoring performance. The freshman guard was 7-of-11 from the field, including 6 of 8 from 3-point land, and 10-of-12 from the foul line. N

said. “My dad would take me to at least one game a year. I’m really looking forward to playing there.� The Sun Devils are one of two teams which beat Stanford in a conference championship game, winning the 2002 event in Eugene. Stanford never trailed by less than 12 during the second half, although the Huskies did make a run to cut the Cardinal advantage. “They were aggressive inside and we were more concerned with their perimeter players,� Nneka said. “It was good to play against Regina (Rogers) because she’s a great player and a challenge to guard. I think once we started to recognize our options on the floor, we were able to get it going.� Samuelson hit a pair of 3-pointers and Chiney Ogwumike hit a putback to up Stanford’s lead to 24 points midway through the second half that all but settled the issue. Amber Orrange hit a jumper with 7:58 left to give the Cardinal a 27point edge and forcing Washington coach Kevin McGuff to call his final timeout. “They are the best defensive team

the gap.� Rice not only brings a top pitching staff to Sunken Diamond, but a worthy offensive lineup as well. The Owls are hitting .294 with 11 home runs, led by Michael Fuda’s .424 average. “I look for some great baseball,� Stanford’s Stephen Piscotty said. “They are a great team and are always pretty solid.� Stanford brings a three-game winning streak into the series. Rice has won three of its last four as both teams opened strong. The Cardinal won eight straight before losing, 7-5, at Fresno State. The Owls won their first nine games, including a threegame sweep over Dallas Baptist, the school California beat in last year’s Super Regional, before losing to Texas, 11-8. Rice also lost, 3-2, to Texas State. California also ended Rice’s season last year in Houston. Not many teams can match Stanford’s productivity though. The Cardinal has five players with at least 10 runs scored and matches the Owls with 11 home runs in two fewer games. N

Hochstatter (3-0, 1.50) for Stanford, which carries a 2.81 team ERA. Hochstatter, a freshman who worked out of the bullpen over the opening weekend, has latched onto the third starting spot for now, although A.J. Vanegas, who threw five scoreless innings in Stanford’s 5-0 win over host St. Mary’s in a nonconference game Wednesday, continues to push his way into the mix. “Starting is definitely different,� Hochstatter said. “It allows you to warm up with a lot of time. I can’t say enough about the run support and the defense behind me. I’m excited for the season.� Stanford’s offense is almost an embarrassment of riches, with Jake Stewart’s team-leading .404 batting average leading the way for a team average of .327. The Cardinal has outscored its opponents 111-35 so far this year. “This is a lineup you can’t make mistakes against,� Stanford catcher Eric Smith said. “One through nine, anyone can drive in a run, hit the ball over the fence or hit one into
