CT, it appears that the only way to follow the action is on a mobile device via Tennis One. But I only see streaming from each of the 6 courts. Have you found a scoreboard for each match, a way to see live game scores for all matches at once? Otherwise, I will probably just follow Stanford Women's Tennis on twitter and hit refresh every so often.

Not that I know of, no. The old streaming audio/video had a live scoreboard that showed each match, but for some reason that functionality has not remained with us with the switch to PlaySight.
UCSB pulled it out 4-3, by the way. 5 of the 6 singles matches went to third sets, so hopefully UCSB is a little tired.
I turned on #3 doubles to see what Gordon looks like, and she promptly ripped a forehand down the line for a winner.
You have to take the opposition into account, of course, but she looks great. Can't wait to see how singles goes.

Thanks for the link, on to the singles matches.

I'm pretty sure Gordon has never played a competitive match at Stanford outside the stadium, so it'll be interesting to see her on Court 5! She's the rare player who came in and held down #1 basically her whole career, except for this little reprise here.
And we'll have to wait a little longer for it--it's Xu at 5 and Choy at 6, so while Gordon looked healthy and good to go throughout doubles, perhaps Lele is easing her back? And if nothing else, maybe she's there to give our doubles a shot in the arm.

A 4-0 win with smooth singles wins from Yepifanova (6-4, 6-1), Blake (6-2, 6-2) and Choy (6-1, 6-0). Ma was leading 6-4 4-1, Xu was at 6-2 3-4 (but I think down a break), and Houghton was at 5-7, 2-0. Hope we can see Gordon tomorrow in singles.
A tidbit: SE Mo. State has a mainly Eastern European team, including 2 players from Russia, one from Ukraine, and their graduate assistant coach (and No.1 player last year) is from Ukraine.

RE: Women's Tennis: Pac-12 Champs and looking ahead to NCAAs - oldalum - 05-06-2022
When we lost to UCSB 4-3 earlier this year, we won at #1 doubles but lost on courts 2 (Xu/Yepifanova) and 3 (Geller/Madurawe). I have to think we'll be much better tomorrow with the doubles lineup we put out today. In singles vs. UCSB we lost in 3 sets on courts 3-4 (Blake, Houghton) and 2 sets on #5 (Xu) while Choy rolled 6-3 6-1 at #6. I'm guessing Lele will either put Gordon at 4, moves Houghton to 5, and keeps Choy at 6; or puts Gordon at 5. (UCSB's lineup hasn't changed from our match earlier this year)
RE: Women's Tennis: Pac-12 Champs and looking ahead to NCAAs - oldalum - 05-07-2022
We win the doubles point vs. UCSB on courts 2 and 3! Already one point better than our earlier meeting against them.

Gordon not playing singles.

too bad, I'm guessing Gordon must have a leg injury limiting her to doubles. It was good to have her, I don't think we would have won the doubles point without her.
We won 3 singles matches against them last time, just need to do the same today!

Ironically, we flipped the doubles point, winning in 2 and 3 but losing at #1.

RE: Women's Tennis: Pac-12 Champs and looking ahead to NCAAs - oldalum - 05-07-2022
we've won 4 first sets, lost one (Yepifanova), and in a tiebreaker on court 5 (Xu)
___________________________
We win 4-0 with 2-set wins on 1 (Ma), 3 (Blake), and 6 (Choy). And we were leading on 2 of the remaining 3 courts. That was (pretty) easy!

What a difference it makes for us to be playing in the NCAA’s.

What a terrific team win! (I was out of pocket all weekend, so sorry I couldn't share the fun with you all.)
Next up is a trip to Norman, OK, to play the 2nd-seeded Oklahoma Sooners, who are not a traditional power but who are having an absolute dream season. It started well when they went into Durham for Kick-Off Weekend and knocked off #6 Duke. At National Indoors, they beat Wisconsin, then-#1 Texas and then-#5 Pepperdine before losing 4-2 to now-#1 UNC. They rolled through the Big 12, including a second win over Texas, but the third time wasn't the charm in the Big-12 championship match, when Texas won 4-2. In NCAAs, #17 ASU gave them a run in the second round but fell just short, 4-3. In that match, ASU took the doubles point and then won courts 4 and 5, but lost in straight sets (albeit close ones) everywhere else. Freshman Anchisa Chanta missed that match for the Sooners, however, and she's normally been playing #3 singles for them.
Ranked players in singles:
#10 Layne Sleeth
#53 Carmen Corley
#64 Anchisa Chanta
#97 Ivana Corley
And in doubles, they have the #10 pair, the Corley sisters.
So, if we can keep our #2 and #3 doubles teams rolling, we've got a decent shot at the doubles point, and then it'll be a heavyweight bout the rest of the way. Is this where we see Gordon inserted into the singles lineup? Can our top two knock off their top two?
I don't know if we will win, but there's no reason why we can't.

I don't know if we will win, but there's no reason why we can't.
If Gordon plays singles for us (and she's in decent form) and assuming we can capture the doubles point, do you think we'll have an easy go at it at #5 and #6 and then we will need to only win 1 of the top 4 courts?
Do you see that as our most likely path to victory over Oklahoma?
