Cardinal tops No. 5 Virginia for third-straight conference title

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – For the third-straight year, the Cardinal is coming back to The Farm with the Gaynor Cup. No. 4 Stanford went 3-0 at the MASC Championships this weekend, winning the conference title for the third time in as many seasons.

The Card swept No. 14 Georgetown and No. 23 Franklin & Marshall on Saturday to advance to the final on Sunday against the hosting No. Virginia.

In the final, Stanford posted a 7-2 victory to move to 10-2 on the season. Zhi Xuan Goh, Mariana Narvaez Dardon, Madison Ho, Tiana Parasrampuria, Maeve Baker, Valerie Huang, Khushi Kukadia and Avery Park all went undefeated on the weekend.

The 10th win of the season matches last season’s total, which was the most in a season since the program won 16 games in 2017-18.

Next up for Stanford is the CSA National Championships, set to be played March 5-8 at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia.
