Not a good start to the singles either, we are down an early break in 3 of the 6 matches, including a double break in Arbuthnott's match
Make that down a break (in 2 matches 2 breaks) in 5 of the 6. Hopefully, it's just a slow start and we'll be able to rally

Well, Higuchi is uncharacteristically down two breaks (0-4), while Arbuthnott is down 0-3.

Not pretty. Emma Higuchi 22-0 in duals the year, gets bageled in the first set.

And she's facing 3 break points in her opening service game in the 2nd set
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -

Lampl wins the first set and Lord serving for the first set, Stanford trying to get something going.
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -
DC 86 - 05-23-2017
Stanford showing heart after a rough start - Lampl, Lord and Davidson win their respective first sets, so there's a chance.
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -
TheFarm07 - 05-23-2017
Even if Davidson, Lord and Lampl can all hold onto their leads, we need a comeback from one of the other 3 matches to win.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be Higuchi who is 2 games away from being double bageled.
Doyle is down an early break in the 2nd, so right now it might be Arbuthnott who is 2-2 in the second

Well, what a way for Higuchi's 22-match winning streak in duals to end, in a 6-0, 6-0 loss.
In 2 of the 3 matches where we won the first set, Florida has a lead in the second. Lord is the only one with a break to her advantage in the 2nd.
Arbuthnott has to rally for a break down in the second, already down a set.
Doyle is tied at 3-3 in the second but down a set.
So we have a lot of work still left.

Wow! What a homer announcer. Not one positive word about Stanford in 5 minutes. If a Florida player loses the point, they lost it but Stanford didn't win it. They're focusing on the matches that Stanford is doing poorly. Florida's Woolcock is now 3-3 in the second, and they emphasize how wonderful she's doing.
Did ESPN have a memo to ignore any thing positive about Stanford?

I actually haven't gotten that vibe, just that Stanford is fighting for its life.
And the homer announcer is a Stanford man.
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -

Doyle just lost. We need to win the remaining 4 matches to win and it could be a 4-0 sweep with Arbuthnott fighting to stay in it late in the second set.
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -
DC 86 - 05-23-2017
Arbuthnott forces a third set and keeps hope alive.

Bad news is that Taylor Davidson is hurt and has been getting treatment for a while from the trainer, will try to continue but not able to move well.

That is not good, as she is already down a break in the 3rd and a loss clinches it for Florida
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -
TheFarm07 - 05-23-2017
Lord wins 6-4, 7-5, so it won't be a clean sweep for the Gators. Florida still up 3-1.
Lampl and Arbuthnott on serve in the 3rd, but Davidson trying to get the break back.
Re: NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament -
TheFarm07 - 05-23-2017
Might be close to the end. Davidson facing a 2-5 deficit in the 3rd and after going up a break each, Lampl and Arbuthnott gave up their leads to go back on serve
