TUCSON, Ariz. – The 29th-ranked Arizona men's tennis team had a dominant performance on Friday afternoon as they swept the Washington Huskies 4-0 for their first Pac-12 win in five seasons. It was also their first win over the Huskies since 2003.
 
"I'm proud of this team," head coach Clancy Shields said. "We have dealt with a lot of adversity and we responded like true warriors. I'm glad we could keep our focus, stay the course and get a good win today. It has been almost five years since we got a regular season Pac-12 win. I'm glad we could get that off our back and now we can turn our attention to a very strong Oregon team on Sunday."
 
Arizona got ahead early, taking the doubles point with wins on courts one and three. Jonas Maier and Stweart Block made quick work on court three with a 6-1 win and the 69th-ranked doubles pair Jonas Ziverts and Igor Karpovets clinched the doubles point with a 6-3 win on court one against the 52nd-ranked doubles team in the country.
 
No. 121 Malbasic was excellent in singles play, winning his math 6-1, 6-1 on court two. Jonas Maier was just as impressive as he won 6-0, 6-1 on court six and Jonas Ziverts took down No. 125 Enzo Sommer on court one 6-3, 7-5 on court one to clinch the match.
 
Next up for the Wildcats will be No. 42 Oregon on Sunday, April 7 at 11 a.m. MST.
