Poised to stop a skid of three straight losses, the injury-plagued UCLA men’s tennis team will be forced to face some tough competition this weekend.

Facing stiff competition at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s National Men’s Team Indoor Championship, No. 4 UCLA fell to the defending and eventual champion No. 5 Virginia in a hard fought quarterfinal match, losing 3-4.

Not content to rest on its laurels, the No. 4 UCLA men’s tennis team will continue to work on improving, despite its 4-0 start.
The Bruins have been on a roll lately, having crushed both of their opponents, the University of South Alabama and Fresno State University, over the weekend.

Coming off of two solid home wins, the No. 4 UCLA men’s tennis team will look to continue its hot start as national implications have already reached its doorstep.

One minute the outcome of the match was uncertain. The next minute, victory was assured. In a span of mere seconds, the UCLA men’s tennis team managed to secure a team victory by a score of 6-1 over the Boise State Broncos at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on Tuesday.

Despite a mediocre performance this weekend, the UCLA men’s tennis team is still confident going up against Brigham Young University, a team with which it has traditionally found success.

While some individuals may take this upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. weekend to travel, visit friends or relax at home, the UCLA men’s tennis team will be hard at work at the Sherwood Collegiate Cup in Thousand Oaks.
