Last year, the No. 8-seeded Huskies stunned the top-seeded Wildcats, likely costing UA a chance to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Regionals.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star The Arizona men's tennis team's run to a Pac-12 Tournament title begins with an opponent that disrupted the Wildcats' plans a year ago.
“Last year, Washington really impacted how we finished our year,” UA captain Nick Lagaev said. “Even though we beat them on our home courts, I think the match is going to be completely different when we play them at the tournament, much like last year.” The goal all season for Arizona has been to host the NCAA Regionals, and that starts with making a deep run in the Pac-12 Tournament. The top 16 teams host and UA enters the Pac-12 Tournament ranked No. 14 in the nation.
Cats too much for Sun DevilsThe Wildcats closed their regular season with a strong 4-2 road win over Arizona State to clinch a share of the Pac-12 regular-season championship for the second straight year. It was the Wildcats' third straight win over the Sun Devils and gave them a 6-2 conference record. Utah and USC also finished 6-2.
Smith was in a similar position in the Wildcats' previous match against Utah, with his third-set tiebreaker deciding who won the match. He fell short in Arizona’s 4-3 loss in Salt Lake City to the Utes. “Credit to ASU. I mean, this was the most competitive ASU team we have played in three years, and they really wanted to beat us,” Shields said. “I was really impressed with the way they came out and played. I was really proud of our team finding a way to win in a tough environment on the road with so much at stake.”
