Blanked the Gaels – Stanford University Athletics

STANFORD, Calif. – No. 12 Stanford blanked Saint Mary’s 7-0 on Thursday afternoon in the season opener for both teams at Taube Family Tennis Stadium.

The Cardinal (1-0) locked up the doubles point and quickly secured the match with straight-set victories at all six spots of the singles lineup.

Leading 1-0, Samir Banerjee contributed a 6-1, 6-1 win on court three in his dual match debut.

Aryan Chaudhary followed with a 6-0, 6-2 triumph at the No. 4 spot before Filip Kolasinki delivered the 6-1, 6-2 clincher on court five.

Thursday’s match was originally scheduled for Wednesday and postponed due to rain.
