Women’s Tennis | February 28, 2024

LOS ANGELES – The No. 8 USC women’s tennis team is scheduled for an action-packed weekend in Los Angeles as the Women of Troy travel to UCLA on Friday, March 1 (1:30) and host a doubleheader at Marks Stadium on Saturday, March 2 against UC Santa Barbara (11 a.m. PT) and CSUN (2:30 p.m. PT). 
 
USC (7-3) wraps their non-conference slate this weekend, with the Trojans set to host Pac-12 rivals Washington and Washington State the following weekend. 

An undefeated weekend for the Trojans would help USC head coach Alison Swain surpass the 100 dual match wins mark at USC. Trojan fifth-year Eryn Cayetano is also three singles victories away from 100 career singles wins.
