SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Arizona Wildcats begin a lengthy road trip with a match against UCSB on Friday, Mar. 5 at 2 p.m MST.

No. 18 Arizona is coming off a 3-0 weekend at home which includes wins against two Pac-12 rivals. Three Wildcats, No. 54 Filip Malbasic, Carlos Hassey and Nick Lagaev, are tied for the lead in singles wins after that gauntlet with 9 wins. Malbasic is in sole possession of the lead in doubles wins with nine.

Since 2000, Arizona has gone 7-1 against the Gauchos. The Cats played UCSB last year before the season was cancelled, resulting in a 7-0 sweep. Clancy Shields and his squad hope to replicate that performance to improve upon their 12-1 record and extend their 10-game win streak.
