Stanford women's athletes lead the Capital One Cup following a competitive fall athletics season. The Cardinal men are ranked seventh.

Women’s athletics earned 96 points toward the Capital One Cup due to their recent success in cross country, soccer and volleyball, while the men earned 30 points from their wins in cross country, water polo and soccer.

The Capital One Cup is an NCAA athletics award honoring the top Division I men’s and women’s college athletics program in the country.

With strong performances in the remaining winter and spring sports, Stanford has the opportunity to bring home the Capital One Cup and $200,000 each for women’s and men’s athletic departments in scholarship funds and be honored at the ESPYS in July.

Over the eight Capital One Cup seasons, $3.2 million has been donated to the scholarship funds of winning schools, half to men’s and half to women’s programs.
