NOTES
- Saturday's match against Nevada is the first dual match of the spring season. Back on Jan. 14-16, the Broncos kicked off the spring campaign at the Cal Winter Invitational which was a tournament format contest.
- Santa Clara returns eight players (JennaMarie Gordon, Giulia Hayer, Finley Kalinic, Lindsay Lynch, Lindsey Pesqueira, Katherine Petty, Jamie Schroer and Varya Zlotnik) from last season and add two newcomers (Kacey Feng and Velizara Fileva).
- During the fall season, Feng led the team with five singles wins while Gordon and Hayer topped the squad with eight doubles wins each.
During the 2020-21 season:
- Four freshmen (Gordon, Kalinic, Petty and Zlotnik) were regulars in the starting lineups in both singles and doubles.
- Gordon, a transfer from Gonzaga, was named honorable mention All-West Coast Conference in singles in her first season on the Mission Campus.
- Kalinic posted a team-high seven wins in singles with three of those wins coming on court three.
- Hayer had a team-high eight doubles wins with seven of them coming on court two, all while paired with Gordon last season.
- Head coach Ben Cabell is in his 16th year as the head coach. He owns a 137-162 career record and has coached 26 all-conference singles, 12 all-conference doubles and 41 conference all-academic honorees.
