The highly anticipated season opener for the No. 2 Stanford women’s tennis team will have to wait a few days after all.

Due to rain, the team’s first dual match of the season, against UC Davis, will be held next Tuesday, Jan. 29, 3 p.m. at the Taube Family Tennis Center.

Despite losing its No. 1 and No. 2 players from last year, the Cardinal lineup still features a formidable combination of talent and youth.

Stanford is led by junior Jessica Nguyen at No. 21, sophomore Lindsay Burdette at No. 39 and freshman Carolyn McVeigh at No. 58. Joining them is senior Celia Durkin, a returning All-American.

The Card is also coming off a strong finish to the individual season highlighted by titles in Las Vegas and McVeigh’s run at Indian Wells.

Last year, Stanford blanked the Aggies 7-0, stretching their dual match win streak to 87. The streak was later broken by eventual national champions, No. 1 Georgia Tech.

Heading into Tuesday, Stanford has yet to lose a dual match at home in nearly eight years, going 121-0 during the streak. The team’s last home loss came to California in a 5-4 upset.

With the rescheduled match, the Card will have to begin its season with three matches in four days, including bouts against No. 14 Fresno State and No. 43 UNLV, all at home.
