STANFORD, Calif. - Santa Clara women's tennis advanced three doubles teams in the main draw and one singles player in the qualifying rounds on the first day of the ITA Northwest Regional Championships on Thursday. Anna Rahman won all three of her matches, one in doubles and two in singles, while five newcomers picked up their first career victories as Broncos.
