Will Stanford soon be surpassing UCLA as the all-time leader in D1 national titles?

With the national championship win by the women's tennis team on Tuesday, Stanford won its 109th NCAA Division 1 national championship. Only one school has more national championships than Stanford: UCLA at 113.

Coming into this year, Stanford trailed UCLA by five titles, but Stanford closed the gap after picking up two national championships so far this year (in men's soccer and now women's tennis), while UCLA has only picked up one national championship (in men's water polo).

Stanford also came painfully close to winning a third national championship when its women's water polo team lost the national championship final to USC by only the narrowest of margins: by a score of 8-7.
