Stanford women's tennis wrapped up the 2025-26 season with a 14-11 record, marking their 44th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite key injuries affecting their roster, the team showed resilience, securing notable victories over ranked opponents, including No. 23 Cal and No. 25 SMU. However, their journey ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a loss to No. 11 Pepperdine, which marked just the third time since 1982 they failed to progress beyond the first round.

By the Numbers
  • 14 wins against 11 losses for the season
  • Fourth consecutive year with a ranked player — Valerie Glozman being an ITA All-American in singles
State of Play
  • Stanford has faced injuries, limiting them to a small roster throughout the season.
  • Successful completion of the season at No. 28 in ITA rankings.
What's Next

The team is expected to focus on recruiting to strengthen their roster and address injury concerns over the offseason. With successful freshmen like Monika Ekstrand and Alyssa Ahn showing potential, Stanford aims to build on this season's experiences for improved performance in the following year.

Bottom Line

Despite a challenging season, Stanford women's tennis demonstrated their tenacity and potential for growth, highlighted by individual accolades and strong performances from newcomers. They need to focus on recovery and strategic recruitment to elevate their standing in the NCAA tournaments next year.
