Stanford senior Kelly Belardi (Manhattan Beach, CA) and sophomore Avery Jackson (Dallas, TX) won all five of their matches in Texas last week (Mar. 25-28), all against ranked opponents, and two over the top-10. Playing as the No. 1 pair, Belardi and Jackson won in straight sets at No. 7 TCU, at No. 6 Texas, and over No. 12 LSU and No. 17 North Florida, also played in Austin, TX. Belardi and Jackson also posted a three-set win over No. 16 Florida Atlantic. They secured three dual-clinching points to help the Cardinal go 5-0 for the week. Belardi also became the first athlete in Stanford history to reach 100 career wins. This is the first career MPSF weekly award for Belardi and Jackson.
