The No. 58 UCSB men’s tennis team will face No. 22 Stanford in the NCAA Tournament’s first round. The two squads will play at 2 p.m. May 10 at Pepperdine.

The Gauchos, making their third-straight appearance at the Big Dance, boast a 15-9 record.  Stanford, the NCAA record holder with 17 national tennis titles, enters the tournament at 12-8.

I can assure you the Gauchos will be excited about the opportunity to upset one of the country’s perennial powerhouse programs.

Go Gauchos!
