No.
20 Texas Tech will hit the road for a pair of matches this week, as the
Lady Raiders face No. 24 Arizona and No. 55 Sacramento State at the
Robson Tennis Center.
The Lady Raiders will face Arizona on Saturday at 1 p.m. and then meet Sacrament State
on Sunday at 11 a.m.
"I
think this will be a good test for us," said Lady Raider head coach
Todd Petty. "I
feel like we competed well last weekend and we learned a lot about
ourselves. Now we have to use what we learned as we moved forward."
Heading
into Friday's match with Sacrament State, the Wildcats have won 15
straight
matches at the Robson Tennis Center. Texas Tech is 0-5 against Arizona
all-time, including 0-3 in Tucson. The last time the two teams met in
2010, Arizona upset No. 73 Texas Tech, 5-2.
This
is the second consecutive year that Texas Tech has met up with
Sacramento State
in the state of Arizona. Last season, the then-No. 45 Lady Raiders
cruised past the then-No. 48 Hornets, 6-1, at the ITA Kickoff Weekend in
Tempe.
The Lady Raiders are in the midst of an eight-match road swing that goes from Waco to
Tucson to Houston to Alabama.
