Stanford, the only women's water polo program that has competed at every NCAA Championship since its inception in 2001, will make its 15th straight appearance in 2015.

The Cardinal earned an at-large berth to the field when the NCAA Women's Water Polo Committee announced the bracket on Monday evening.

Ten teams will be vying for the 2015 National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championship. The top six teams have been placed in the bracket; the remaining four teams will compete for the last two berths in the bracket via two play-in games.

The play-in games will be conducted May 2. The winners will advance to the championship, which will be held May 8-10 at the Avery Aquatic Center with Stanford serving as the host institution. The 2015 championship will be an eight-team, single-elimination tournament (12 games), with a losers' bracket to determine places three through eight.

The Cardinal will begin its tournament on Friday, May 8 at noon against the winner of Princeton (29-3) and Wagner (25-8). Those two teams will meet at Princeton this Saturday.
