History is on the line when UA takes on Oregon and Washington.
Jacob Mennuti Special to the Arizona Daily Star There was a lot at stake for the Arizona men’s tennis team in last week’s match against Utah. The 14th-ranked Wildcats needed a win over the No. 32-ranked Utes to remain alone at the top of the Pac-12 standings and poised to win their first-ever conference championship.This time around, Arizona exacted some revenge. The Wildcats beat the Utes 4-0, securing the sweep in under two hours.
Arizona has won five straight matches, and carries a one-game lead over second-place USC heading into the final two matches of the season. The Wildcats will take on Oregon on Friday and Washington on Sunday; by winning both matches, Arizona can secure the title. "I just don't see any purpose in shying away from what we're playing for. We're playing for the first conference championship in our program's history.”
Smith has quickly become one of the Wildcats’ most pivotal players this season, having won six of his seven singles matches.
