The Oregon men’s tennis team will begin their postseason journey this week when they travel to Libbey Park in Ojai, Calif., for the Pac-12 Championships. The Ducks will play as the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed Arizona (8-18, 0-7) in the opening round on Wednesday at 12 p.m. (PT).
Ranked No. 50 in the ITA Team Rankings, UO brings a 14-8 record into this week’s conference championships. The Ducks will likely need to win at least one, if not two matches to have a chance at an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.
Scouting the Wildcats
Although Arizona was winless in conference play, the Wildcats returned Naoki Takeda to their lineup in their last two matches against Washington and Utah.
