SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Rachel Heck knows a thing or two about success. As a freshman at Stanford, Heck won six times in one semester, including all three postseason championships, just the third player at the time to ever do so.

Of course, that was before Rose Zhang.

Since joining a talented Cardinal roster two seasons ago, all Zhang has done is obliterate her competition. At the college level, she’s the only two-time NCAA individual champion in history while racking up 12 individual victories, including eight this season as a sophomore to tie Lorena Ochoa’s NCAA record for wins in a single season.
