The Sun Devils’ eight-game win streak was snapped Thursday evening by Stanford, a team ranked No. 3 in the most recent ITA poll.
Although Arizona State (8-4) came close, they could not pull off the upset against the Cardinal (11-1) in a 4-3 loss.
The game came down to the matchup on Court 4 between ASU freshman Tim Ruehl and Stanford graduate student Eric Fomba.
After taking a commanding 5-1 lead in the final set, Ruehl appeared to have the point in the bag. However, Fomba launched an unbelievable comeback, winning six consecutive games to win the point.
