Cal 2, Stanford 0
2. Blake leads 2-6, 6-4, 1-0 (up a break)
3. Arbuthnott trails 6-3, 0-6, 1-2 (has lost eight straight games)
4. Geller trails 2-6, 6-4, 1-2 (on serve)
5. Choy leads 6-2, 5-4 (on serve)
6. Higuchi trails 6-7, 1-2 (on serve)
* Geller seems to be finding her footing, though she couldn't convert a couple of game points to go up 2-0 in the third, and then Bui held at love.
* Choy is just four points away from her match, and Viller Moeller will serve to stay in it. Come on, Sara! Important to get that 0 off the board next to Stanford....
* Arbuthnott lost 8 straight games there before breaking to get back on serve in her third set.
Obviously, you'd rather be in Cal's position right now. Two points away, you're up a set in one match, and if you get that, you just need one of the three matches currently in third sets.
Cal 2, Stanford 1
2. Blake leads 2-6, 6-4, 1-0
3. Arbuthnott tied 6-3, 0-6, 2-2
4. Geller trails 2-6, 6-4, 1-4
5. Choy won 6-2, 6-4
6. Higuchi trails 6-7, 1-3
* Choy broke on deciding point to take it!
* Well, forget what I said about Geller finding her footing. Oof.
* Higuchi fading after that tiebreaker loss. Those can be so deflating, but unfortunately, we just can't afford that right now. If she doesn't turn it around, and soon, that'll be that.
* Cal just needs 2 more games at 4 and 3 more games at 6 for a 4-1 win. Geller and Higuchi have to dig deep right now.
Cal 2, Stanford 1
2. Blake leads 2-6, 6-4, 2-1 (up a break)
3. Arbuthnott leads 6-3, 0-6, 4-2
4. Geller trails 2-6, 6-4, 2-5 (Geller serving to stay alive)
6. Higuchi trails 6-7, 2-4
* Big time turnaround for Arbuthnott
* Higuchi was serving 1-4, 0-40 and pulled off a big-time hold to stay in it
* Geller was 2 points from losing but fought back for a break
* Still running low on time, but Geller and Higuchi winning the most recent games keeps us alive for the moment....
Cal 3, Stanford 1
2. Blake tied 2-6, 6-4, 2-2 (no one wants to hold serve on this court, apparently)
3. Arbuthnott leads 6-3, 0-6, 4-3 (up a break)
4. Geller lost 2-6, 6-4, 2-6
6. Higuchi trails 6-7, 2-5
Three matches left, and we need 'em all. But Cal just needs one more game on 6....
Back against the wall, Emma Higuchi. Whaddya got?
Blake breaks for 3-2 in the third while Arbuthnott holds for 5-3.
But Higuchi goes down 0-30....
Now 0-40....
Ugh. And that's that. A 4-1 loss to Cal.
