SALT LAKE CITY— The University of Utah women's tennis team will travel to Ojai, Calif. for the Pac-12 Conference Championships on Wednesday.
This year's tournament will be run as a team event, a change from previous years where it consisted of singles and doubles competitions. Play begins on Apr. 26 and will conclude with the championship match on Apr. 29.
The Utes (9-10, 3-7 Pac-12) are slated to face No. 9 seed Arizona in the first round of competition on Wednesday at 11 a.m. The winner of that match will face No. 1 seed Stanford (18-2, 10-0 Pac-12) in the second round on Thursday.
MATCH POINTS
