"We came out with a strong performance in our first match of the season on Wednesday but we need to ramp it up and prepare well for a tough couple of matches this weekend," said Head Coach Derek Mills.
Ashot Khacharyan, leading the way for Santa Clara at the No. 1 singles position, enters the weekend with 51 career singles victories and a 2-1 mark on the year. Although the senior has never competed against Grand Canyon, Khacharyan is familiar with Holy Names after cruising to a 6-3, 6-4 victory over the Hawks' Matt Halligan last year.
