No. 3 Stanford (19-2, 8-1) picked up a win in its season finale against No. 9 Cal (16-5, 8-2) to secure the second seed in Ojai. The Trojans and Golden Bears both finished 8-2 in league dual matches this season, but USC’s 4-3 win over Cal on Sunday, March 31 earned the Trojans the head-to-head tiebreaker between the programs.
