STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford collected two of the three final weekly tennis awards announced by the conference office on Tuesday when Valerie Glozman was named ACC Freshman of the Week and Glozman and Connie Ma were selected ACC Doubles Team of the Week.
Glozman won her league-high third ACC Freshman of the Week award following a pair of road singles victories last weekend in North Carolina. She beat Wake Forest’s Anna Zhang 6-2, 7-6 (4) and NC State’s No. 89 Maddy Zampardo 7-5, 6-2 to finish up her debut regular season at Stanford.
Glozman heads into the ACC Championship with a 28-5 overall record, a 15-3 mark this spring, and an 11-1 record against ACC opponents. She’s 13-5 against nationally-ranked foes and is rated as the No. 6 player in the country. Glozman won ACC Freshman of the Week honors in three of the past six weeks.
Glozman and Ma also picked up their second ACC Doubles Team of the Week award after a perfect weekend in Winston-Salem and Raleigh. The duo beat the Demon Deacons Nevena Carton and Kady Tannenbaum 6-4 on Friday and followed that up with a big 6-3 win over the nation’s No. 3 pair from NC State, Gabriella Broadfoot and Zampardo.
Glozman and Ma are 21-7 this season, 14-6 in duals, 8-4 against ACC opponents and 8-6 against ranked doubles pairs.
The Cardinal, 14-7 overall, finished its inaugural ACC campaign with a 7-5 league mark and the No. 7 seed in this week’s ACC Championship in Cary, N.C. Stanford will enjoy a bye until Thursday, when it opens against the winner of No. 10 seed Miami and No. 15 seed Virginia Tech. If the Cardinal was to prevail, a quarterfinal with No. 2 seed North Carolina would await on Friday.
