With the NCAAs right around the corner for UCLA women’s tennis, most of the team’s players headed up to Ojai, Calif. for the Pac-12 tournament while some players stayed behind to rest for the postseason.

Last month, the USC women’s tennis team celebrated an upset victory on UCLA’s home court. Today, the Bruins will travel to their crosstown rival’s court to try to return the favor.
