BURLINGAME, Calif. – No. 10 Stanford men's tennis team swept Santa Clara, 5-0, late Tuesday night at the Broadway Tennis Center after inclement weather forced the 2019 dual match season opener to be moved from Stanford to the indoor courts.
Despite losing its home court advantage, the Cardinal, featuring four singles players ranked in the top-101, showcased its fire power against the Broncos who were picked to finish second (along with BYU and LMU) in the West Coast Conference.
