Top-ranked Stanford and No. 4 Portland solidified their spots at the top of their respective league in the Pac-10 and West Coast Conference last week, while the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference races heated up making for some interesting upcoming match-ups.

After a convincing 4-0 victory over No. 15 USC on Oct. 16, the Cardinal ended third-ranked UCLA's 22-game conference winning streak with a 2-0 victory against the Bruins on Sunday.  The two wins in Pac-10 play put Stanford ahead in the Pac-10 standings with a perfect 4-0-0 mark, while the squad improved to 15-0-0 overall, as the Cardinal seeks their first league title since 2002.

It was the Cardinal's first win over the six-time defending champion Bruins (12-2-1, 3-1-0) since 2002 and first at home in the series since 1999.   Stanford goes on the road to Washington and Washington State this weekend looking to remain the only flawless team in Division I women's soccer.

Portland cruised to its third consecutive shutout against WCC competition, blanking Loyola Marymount, 4-0, on Sunday as the Pilots stretched their winning streak to seven games.  Two days earlier, the Pilots downed Pepperdine, 6-0.  UP has outscored its' three league opponents 17-0.

Senior Michelle Enyeart (pictured left) combined for three goals and three assists in the two league wins, earning TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Week honors for the second time this season.  She ranks second on the squad with 33 points on 11 goals and 11 assists.  Portland's defense, led by goalkeeper Kelsey Davis (0.48 GAA), has posted 10 shutouts in 15 games this year. 

"We're rolling right now and we're playing really well," said Portland head coach Garrett Smith. "It's great when you can score as many goals as we did on the road. Today was just another great performance, our energy was good and the whole team played well."

The Pilots continue WCC play this weekend, hosting Saint Mary's and San Francisco.
