STANFORD, Calif. - No. 26 Stanford prepares for one of its busiest stretches of the season with four matches coming up over a seven-day stretch.
Stanford (7-3, 3-0 Pac-12) hosts Hawai'i (6-5, 2-2 Big West) on Sunday, March 25, and UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday, March 28, representing the final two contests of a nine-match homestand.
Later in the week, the Cardinal resumes conference play, traveling to Arizona State on Friday, March 30, and Arizona on Saturday, March 31.
Winners of three straight, Stanford should be well-rested when it returns to the court against Hawai'i, having been idle since a 4-0 shutout of Utah on March 16. Weather has disrupted the Cardinal's recent schedule, with home matches against Pepperdine and Colorado having already been rained out. Stanford's 10 matches played to date are among the fewest in the country.
Eight matches remain in the regular season, prior to Pac-12 Championships from April 25-28. Stanford must continue to pile up victories so it can make a move up the rankings and position itself among the nation's top-16, typically recognized as the cutline for NCAA hosting honors. The Cardinal is receiving a boost from playing at home, having now won 42 of its last 45 contests at Taube Family Tennis Stadium dating back to 2015.
The latest edition of the singles rankings include four players: Michaela Gordon (10), Emily Arbuthnott (40), Melissa Lord (64) and Caroline Lampl (98). The Cardinal's lone doubles team features Arbuthnott and Gordon checking in at No. 3.
