In 2011, Stanton led a senior-led squad to a record of 18-11 in a history-making campaign which saw the Cardinals soar to a school record 15-4 record in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. SVSU hosted a first-round GLIAC tournament contest, winning the match in straight sets over Grand Valley.

SVSU posted a 22-10 overall record with a 12-4 mark in the GLIAC. Stanton led the Cardinals to the program's first-ever GLIAC Championship in the 2009 season and second-straight appearance in the NCAA Division II Playoffs, where SVSU bowed-out in the Regional Semifinals to #9 Lewis.

In 2008, the Cardinals advanced to the NCAA Division II Regional Finals, and ended the season with a 25-8 record. The America Volleyball Coaches Association's coaches of the Midwest selected Stanton as the 2008 Midwest Region "Coach of the Year". Under his leadership, the Cardinals finished the 2008 campaign ranked 24th in the nation.

One season after getting the Cardinals above .500 in 2006 for the first time in eight years, Stanton was named GLIAC "Coach of the Year" in 2007 after guiding the Cardinals to their third-best regular season record ever at 20-12, along with their just their second ever berth in the GLIAC Conference Tournament.
