STANFORD- No. 11 Stanford remained unbeaten in conference play, blanking No. 62 Oregon 7-0 on Friday afternoon at Taube Family Tennis Stadium.
Winners of three straight matches, the Cardinal (13-5, 3-0 Pac-12) collected its first shutout victory of the year.
Oregon (15-4, 0-3 Pac-12) has dropped all of its conference matches by 7-0 margins.
Stanford claimed the doubles point for a 1-0 lead, winning on courts one and three before Oregon's No. 2 duo squeaked out a victory to avoid the sweep.
Appearing in his second straight dual match and sixth overall this year, Daniel Ho booked a 6-2, 6-1 win on court six to put Stanford in front 2-0.
Ryan Thacher followed with a 6-2, 6-1 triumph at the No. 2 spot, giving the Cardinal a 3-0 advantage.
Bradley Klahn then provided the clincher with a 6-4, 6-2 win at the top spot of the lineup.
Meanwhile, Robert Stineman notched his team-leading 20th victory, John Morrissey won his 11th consecutive match dating back to Feb. 4 and Matt Kandath improved to 6-3 in three-set matches.
