The No. 38 Stanford men’s tennis team extended its winning streak to seven on Tuesday afternoon, taking down Fresno State 4-1 in Taube Family Tennis Stadium.

The win brings its record up to 13-4, along with a still-perfect 4-0 mark in conference play. This was the first of five home matches to close out the season before the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments.

The day started with two Cardinal victories on the doubles courts by the teams of John Morrissey and Trey Strobel, who won 6-2, and Nolan Paige and David Wilczynski. In singles play, freshman Morrissey, ranked 100th in the country, extended Stanford’s lead to 2-0 before Fresno State got on the scoreboard — and eventually avoided the shutout — by felling junior Maciek Romanowicz.

Sophomore Yale Goldberg soon extended Stanford’s lead, setting the stage for freshman Tom Fawcett, ranked No. 41 in the country, to close out the match on Court 1. Dropping the first set 4-6, Fawcett quickly switched gears and blew his opponent away in the next two sets, 6-0, 6-1.

The team’s current seven-match winning streak is the longest since 2011, when it was ranked No. 8 in the country and won 10 matches in a row to close out the season. With four games left on the slate this year, the Cardinal have the chance to beat that mark.

Such a feat will be incredibly difficult to accomplish, however, as Stanford hosts two conference powerhouses this weekend: No. 15 UCLA on Friday and No. 5 USC on Saturday.

Though the Cardinal lost to both teams earlier this year, the team will hope to maintain its current level of play and will look to use the home court to its advantage to pull off a big upset.
