STANFORD, Calif. - Even with the postseason approaching, No. 4 Stanford has one more test to pass in the regular season.
Riding a 13-match winning streak as one of the hottest teams in the country, Stanford (18-1, 9-0 Pac-12) visits No. 14 California (12-6, 6-3 Pac-12) in the latest edition of the Big Slam on Saturday, April 20, in the regular season finale for both teams.
The Cardinal has already locked up the conference's regular-season crown and No. 1 seed in next weekend's Pac-12 Championships. But Saturday's match represents another opportunity to secure a quality win, with the competitive Golden Bears having already beaten the likes of Florida, Pepperdine and USC.
Stanford has held the upper hand against its Bay Area rivals, having won 14 of the last 19 meetings against California dating back to 2010.
The conference dominance shouldn't come as a surprise. Three-time defending Pac-12 champion Stanford has now won 36 straight regular-season conference matches dating back to March 5, 2016, when it lost 4-3 at Arizona State.
Of Stanford's 18 victories this season, 12 have been shutouts, including the last four matches.
For the 11th straight week, Stanford leads the country with seven players ranked in singles. Michaela Gordon (19-9 overall, 11-4 duals) owns the highest ranking at No. 28, Emily Arbuthnott (28-4 overall, 15-1 duals) leads the Cardinal in victories while Caroline Lampl (23-6 overall, 14-0 duals) has won 16 in a row since her last loss on Jan. 18.
In doubles, four teams appear in the rankings, led by Lampl and Kimberly Yee (15-7 overall, 9-3 duals) represent Stanford's highest-ranked duo at No. 23.
