Gordon has captured two NCAA team titles in her first two seasons, leading the Cardinal and playing at the No. 1 position.
After winning its last four NCAA titles as a No. 8 seed or lower, Stanford flexed its muscle as the No. 3 seed in 2019, routing top-seeded Georgia 4-0 to repeat as NCAA champions for the first time since a three-year stretch from 2004-06.

Stanford (28-1, 10-0 Pac-12) closed its season on a 23-match winning streak and avenged its only loss, a 4-3 setback to Georgia back on Feb. 11 in the semifinals of the ITA National Indoor Championships. The Cardinal improved to 50-5 during the month of May since 2010, a stretch that has produced five NCAA titles (2010, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019).
The Cardinal has won six NCAA championships in 2018-19, also claiming titles in women's volleyball, women's swimming and diving, men's gymnastics, women's water polo and men's golf. The six titles matches the NCAA record for an academic year, with the Cardinal also winning six in 1996-97.
