Bell/Rockwell won 2-0, now meet the #1 seed Piersma/Radstake from Texas at 4:15 CST (2:15 PST) in a semifinal.
I stopped by the Stanford beach courts this morning. There was a pairs tournament running with teams from Cal, St. Mary's, Santa Clara and Stanford. I saw the Stanford pair of Indigo Clarke/Clara Stowell beat a SCU pair, and they were leading a Cal pair when I left. (Clarke/Stowell played together most of 2026, usually as the 3s. I expect they will maintain that position.)
Another pair, Taylor Ponchak and Olga Nikolaeva, struggled against the Cal pair they were playing, and I believe they lost both sets.
The third pair I saw was Logan Tusher and Samantha Krystkowiak; they seemed to be doing well against their Cal match-up.
Spoke briefly with freshman Ruby Cochrane while she was on the sidelines. She said she had already played, and the format was pool play, but each team only played two matches.
