Stanford reclaimed the title it lost last year to Florida in the Division I Women's Tennis Championships with a 4-1 victory over in-state rival UCLA May 23 at the University of Georgia's Dan Magill Tennis Complex. The victory marked the Cardinal's 13th victory in this event.

Stanford's Amber Liu won the singles title for the second consecutive year, making her the third Cardinal student-athlete to win back-to-back titles since 1982. She defeated Fresno State's Jelena Pandzic, 6-4, 0-6, 6-3, for the victory May 29.

UCLA captured the doubles title May 29 when Daniela Bercek and Lauren Fisher combined for the win with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Marshall's Jessica Johnson and Ashley Kroh. With the victory, Bercek and Fisher, unseeded in the 32-team tournament, give UCLA the all-time lead in total NCAA doubles championships.

Stanford's team championship is the third national title for head coach Lele Forood, who has been with the Cardinal for four years and boasts a 111-3 record during her tenure. Stanford, which finished the season undefeated, last won this event in 2002.

"When you play a team for the fourth time in a year, you know each other pretty well, and UCLA came out fired up," Forood said. "We knew each match would be a grind and it was a tight match all the way through, but everyone stepped up and played very well."

The Cardinal duo of Liu and Barnes recorded Stanford's first win of the championship with an 8-3 triumph over UCLA's Jackie Carleton and Feriel Esseghir. Lauren Barnikow and Erin Burdette clinched the doubles point for the Cardinal with an 8-6 win over UCLA's Bercek and Fisher.

Barnes was first off the court in singles, defeating Carleton in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1. Stanford's Theresa Logar downed UCLA's Fisher, 6-4, 6-3. Burdette clinched the title for Stanford with a 7-6, 6-3 win over Esseghir.

UCLA's Sarah Gregg provided the lone win for the Bruins, 6-3, 6-3 over Barnikow.

In singles play, No. 4 seed Liu defeated No. 3 seed Pandzic to finish her season with a 25-4 record. Pandzic's record fell to 29-2.

"This court has been very good to me all week," said Liu. "This has been quite a week."

In doubles play, UCLA captured its first title since 1995 with Fisher and Berecek's win over Johnson and Kroh of Marshall. UCLA last made an appearance in the doubles championship in 2002 when Fisher teamed with former Bruin Megan Bradley, now of Miami. That duo fell to Stanford's Lauren Kalvaria and Gabriela Lastra.

Johnson of Marshall and Fisher of UCLA were junior doubles partners in Pennsylvania before beginning their collegiate careers.
