Stanford Advances To Women's Tennis Final Vs. Florida
STANFORD (CBS / AP) ― Mallory Burdette clinched top-seeded and second-ranked Stanford's 4-1 victory over Baylor on Monday in the NCAA women's national team tennis semifinals at Stanford.
Burdette defeated Nina Secerbegovic 7-5, 6-4 at No. 2 singles to send the Cardinal (28-0) to the final to defend their national title.
