Stanford, appearing in the title match for the 20th time in the 25-year history of the championship, captured the crown with a 4-1 victory over Miami on Stanford's home court, extending Stanford's NCAA-record win streak to 86 consecutive overall matches. The Cardinal also extended its home win streak to 107 and postseason streak to 18 on the way to its third consecutive title. Celia Durkin and Amber Liu, ranked No. 22 in the nation, gave the Cardinal a good start, winning the first doubles match with an 8-3 victory over Audrey Banada and Monika Dancevic. But the Stanford doubles point was not secure until top-ranked Alice Barnes and Anne Yelsey rallied from a 7-3 deficit to win 9-7 and earn their 39th victory of the season. In singles, it was a race for who would finish first, as Barnes and Theresa Logar both led in their second sets and were one game away from clinching the Stanford win. Logar finished first, scoring a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Monika Dancevic to secure the Cardinal's 15th NCAA team championship and help Stanford finish the year 30-0.

No. 2 Stanford (27-1) captured its second consecutive national championship by notching a 4-1 victory over No. 1 Florida (24-2) at Stanford. The victory was well-earned for the third-seeded Cardinal, which had to sit through a rain delay of three hours and 10 minutes before starting the final. The Cardinal, which won the doubles point in nine of its final 10 matches, did so again in the finals to take a 1-0 lead into singles play. In what would be the start of a memorable varsity career, Erin Burdette, a freshman, took the first set in a tiebreaker, 7-6, against Alexis Gordon at No. 4 and then raced out to a 5-2 lead in the second. With Gordon serving at 30-40, Burdette charged the net and angled a backhand volley away from Gordon into the opposite corner for the victory, clinching the 4-1 team triumph in the process.

Stanford swept both the women's and men's titles for the second consecutive season, with the women winning their fourth in a row. The Cardinal heeded head coach Frank Brennan's cry of "No Dubs," by clinching matches during singles play, preventing the need to even play doubles. Indeed, Stanford clinched 25 of 29 matches in singles alone. The Cardinal began the year as the preseason No. 1, with three of the top players in the country, and swept to a 29-0 record, defeating No. 2 UCLA, 5-0, for the title in Gainesville, Fla. Sophomore Sandra Birch won her first NCAA singles title. The team had so much depth that Lisa Green, Debbie Graham, Kylie Johnson, Tami Whitlinger, and Teri Whitlinger combined for a 120-8 dual-meet record.

Stanford went 27-2 while launching a 76-match winning streak and winning its third consecutive NCAA title and fifth in seven years. Coach Frank Brennan said this title "may have been the sweetest. When it came time to play in the NCAA Tournament, we did so without our No. 1 player (injured), but everyone moved up a notch on the ladder and pulled together." The Cardinal ran through the Pac-10 with a 9-1 record, with Lisa Green winning the conference singles title. Once NCAA Championships got underway, No. 1 Tami Whitlinger had to pull out due to a hamstring injury, with Green moving up and Eleni Rossides returning from injury. Stanford reversed an earlier loss to Florida in the regular season, for a 5-2 championship win in Los Angeles.
