SAN DIEGO - Saturday, April 7, and return home to the Aztec Tennis Center for a dual against San Francisco on Sunday, April 8. Saturday's match in Long Beach, Calif., is set to begin at 1 p.m., while first serve Sunday is scheduled for 2 p.m.
The Beach (8-7, 3-2) travels to play at the University of San Diego Friday afternoon before returning home to host the Aztecs on Saturday. Last weekend, the Beach visited conference opponents Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, Calif., where the team recorded a 6-1 win over the Mustangs and a 4-1 loss to the Gauchos. Last season, LBSU traveled to the ATC where they snagged a midseason 5-2 win over the Aztecs.
The Dons (3-12, 1-3) have been challenged throughout the season, most recently in a 4-0 loss at Saint Mary's. The Dons will begin their weekend in San Diego at USD on Saturday morning before making the trip down I-8 to visit Montezuma Mesa Sunday. The Aztecs were last scheduled to face the Dons during the 2015-16 season in San Diego, but the match was cancelled due to weather.
The Aztecs enter this weekend's events with an 8-9, 0-1 record following last week's 4-3 loss at UNLV. Despite falling to the Rebels, SDSU logged its 11th doubles point of the season. Singles action was highlighted by senior Jana Buth's 6-2, 6-1 win over No. 53 Aiwen Zhu, which helped her earn Mountain West Player of the Week.
Following the action this weekend, the Aztecs will host conference opponent Nevada next Friday, April 13. First serve against the Wolfpack is set for 2 p.m. at the Aztec Tennis Center.
