Saturday's contest concludes a five-meet stretch in which the Aztecs have had to travel. In those meets, SDSU lost to UNLV, came in sixth at the UNLV Invite, finished sixth, third and fifth in the three meets at the UCI Invite, lost to Hawai'i and defeated LMU and Pepperdine last Friday.
After the NAU meet, the Aztecs will return home and have two and a half weeks to prepare for the Mountain West Conference Championships in Oklahoma City on Feb. 23-26.

The Aztecs head to UCLA after two convincing 7-0 shutouts over UC Riverside and Northern Arizona at the La Jolla Tennis Club this past weekend. The two wins got SDSU into the win column for the first time this year after a season-opening loss at No. 8 USC (Jan. 22).
Meanwhile, the Bruins are on a roll, shutting out all four of their opponents so far by 7-0 margins. Before facing the Aztecs, UCLA faces 67th-ranked UC Santa Barbara Tuesday and No. 73 UC Irvine Wednesday.
