Tournament History – Last season, the Cats were seeded at No. 10 and fell in the first round of the Pac-12 Championship tournament to the No. 7 seed Washington. Khim Iglupas won the only singles point for Arizona 6-4, 6-0 in the sixth position. The Wildcats will look to advance to the second round of this year’s tournament with their top recruiting class. 

Season Dual – The Wildcats were victorious in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago with a 4-3 win over the Utes. Despite losing the doubles point, the Cats came back to win the match in singles play. Freshman Midori Castillo clinched the final point in three sets against Lindsay Hung 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
