Basing burst onto the scene as one of the top first-year players in the country, finishing his freshman campaign with a 23-4 overall singles record, including a team-leading 18-2 mark in dual play, and a 15-11 mark in doubles. Basing was 9-3 against ranked opponents in singles and was ranked as high as No. 34 this season in singles and No. 31 in doubles.
Rotsaert wrapped up a highly-productive career this season, finishing 12-8 in singles and 33-11 in doubles.

Coupe and head coach Paul Goldstein led Stanford to another strong campaign this season, as Stanford went 19-6 on the season with a 6-2 mark in Pac-12 play. The Cardinal reached the super regional round in the NCAA Tournament.
