CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"Our doubles we didn't play well and Stanford was able to take advantage of that as we lost the doubles point. In singles we were able to rebound and played very competitively in significant matches. Arianna Capogrosso and Azaria Hayes both played hard in competitive sets and Maria Martinez Vaquero was the highlight as she beat Stanford's number one who was the runner up the NCAA's." Our next match is Fresno State as the California Tennis Center." 

UP NEXT: 
The Dons will be back in action this weekend at home as they play the Fresno State Bulldogs (5-5) on Saturday, March 11, at 1:00 pm at the California Tennis Center.
