No. 15 Stanford pulled off a tennis upset Monday, defeating No. 3 Duke 4-2 in the NCAA women's semifinals at Wake Forest Tennis Complex.
The Blue Devils needed three singles matches to win and took the first three sets thanks to wins from Samantha Harris, Kaitlyn McCarthy and Kelly Chen. However, the Cardinal closed out the other three matches in straight sets.
The Duke doubles team of McCarthy and Ellyse Hamlin picked up their sixth ranked win of the postseason in their first match, defeating the Cardinal's Emily Arbuthnott and Michaela Gordon, 6-3, giving the Blue Devils some early momentum.
