LOS ANGELES - The fourth-ranked UCLA women's tennis team (13-2; 4-0 Pac-12) has two of its biggest matches of the season this weekend, with No. 14 Stanford (10-2; 4-0 Pac-12) and No. 13 Cal (10-4; 4-0 Pac-12) visiting the Los Angeles Tennis Center this Friday and Saturday. The Bruins and Cardinal will square off on Friday at 1:30 p.m. The showdown will mark the first meeting between the two teams this season, as UCLA did not face Stanford on its trip to the Bay Area to take on Cal in late February. The two teams last met on April 14 of last year at Stanford, with UCLA snapping the Cardinals' 157-match home winning streak with a 5-2 victory. Following its Friday meeting with Stanford, UCLA will return to the courts the very next day to host Cal at Noon on Saturday. The Bruins already own a win over the Bears this year, taking a 4-3 win in Berkeley on Feb. 22. Freshman Kyle McPhillips notched the clinching victory for UCLA in that match. There is no charge for admission to either of this weekend's matches. Fans who are unable to attend can follow the live stats online by going HERE.
Free Diddy Riese cookies will be given to the first 200 fans in attendance for both matches.
