Freshman Michaela Gordon is no stranger to Taube Family Tennis Center. She played in the qualifying draw of the Bank of the West Classic over the summer and has played and practiced on the courts while growing up in Los Altos Hills and Saratoga.

Gordon defeated sophomore Emily Arbuthnott, 7-5, 6-2, in an all-Stanford singles final on Monday afternoon at the ITA Northwest Regional Championships at Taube Family Tennis Stadium.

"I felt like I got better as the week went on," Gordon said. "I felt my level was good. It was definitely friendly. We practice together all the time and it just felt normal."

Gordon was dominant in her collegiate debut, winning all six of her matches in straight sets while surrendering more than three games in any set only twice.

Gordon, who narrowly missed qualifying for the main draw at this summer's Bank of the West Classic, became the first freshman to win the event since Stanford's Krista Hardebeck in 2012.
