Stanford 1, USC 0
Stanford took the doubles point, and here's how things look in singles:
1. Ma tied with Ewing 3-3 (had been down 0-3, but fought back to break Ewing to get things back on serve and then consolidated)
2. Yepifanova leads Cayetano 4-3 (was up 4-1, but Cayetano is fighting back)
3. Blake tied with Han 4-4 (breaks of serve galore)
4. Houghton trails Cheong 2-5
5. Xu trails Piper 2-4
6. Choy leads Willson 5-2

Stanford 1, USC 0
1. Ma leads 6-4, 0-0
2. Yepifanova leads 7-5, 0-0
3. Blake leads 6-4, 1-2 (Blake was down 15-40 in the last game of the first set but fought back to deciding point and took the set; on serve in the second)
4. Houghton trails 2-6, 1-2
5. Xu leads 6-4 (momentum has swung Xu's way on this one after being down 1-4 initially)
6. Choy leads 6-2, 1-2 (on serve)
Courts 1 and 2 were going in opposite directions very quickly, but can Yepifanova reset and take back control? Yepifanova was up 4-1, then Cayetano won four straight before Yepifanova staved off a set point by winning deciding point to make it 5-5, and then she broke Cayetano to go up 6-5.
Meanwhile, on 1, Ma broke on deciding point on Ewing's serve to go up 4-3, then held to 5-3. Ewing held, and then Ma served for it up 5-4. She went down 0-40 before getting it back to deciding point, and she took it!
That's five first sets. Good stuff so far.
