STANFORD, Calif. - No. 3 Stanford visits No. 46 Utah and Colorado this weekend, attempting to remain unbeaten in conference play.
Winners of 11 in a row, the Cardinal (16-1, 7-0 Pac-12) jumped two spots in the national rankings after sweeping the Washington schools at home last weekend.
With three matches remaining down the stretch, Stanford is the conference's lone unbeaten team and can move one step closer to clinching another regular-season Pac-12 crown.
Three-time defending Pac-12 champion Stanford has now won 34 straight regular-season conference matches dating back to March 5, 2016, when it lost 4-3 at Arizona State.
For the 10th consecutive week, Stanford leads the nation with seven players ranked in singles. Included in that mix is No. 35 Melissa Lord, who on Tuesday was named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the second time this season. Lord (20-8 overall, 13-3 duals) contributed a pair of singles victories and teamed up with Niluka Madurawe for two doubles wins. Lord is riding a seven-match winning streak while playing all but four duals at the No. 2 spot and is seven wins shy of 100 for her career.
In doubles, the Cardinal is also well represented with four ranked doubles teams. Caroline Lampl and Kimberly Yee (14-6, 8-2 duals) represent Stanford's highest-ranked pairing at No. 15.
