Women's Tennis Punches NCAA Tournament Ticket
April 28, 2025 | Women's Tennis
INDIANAPOLIS โ UCLA earned a spot in the Nashville, Tenn. regional of the 2025 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship, the NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Subcommittee announced Monday. Matches will be played Friday and Saturday.
Vanderbilt will serve as host of the first and second rounds, though outdoor matches will be played at MTSU Tennis Complex on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tenn. If any matches are forced indoors, those will be played at Vanderbilt's Lummis Family Tennis Center.
The Bruins (16-8) meet Harvard (15-8) Friday at 9 a.m. PT. Vanderbilt (19-6) takes on Xavier (14-8) at 12 p.m. PT. The winners will face off Saturday at 12 p.m. PT.
UCLA possesses an all-time record of 4-0 versus Harvard. The programs have not met since 1995, when the Bruins recorded a 9-0 victory under head coach Bill Zaima. They have never played each other in the NCAA tournament.
The winner of each site advances to super-regional competition May 9-11. Each super-regional site will feature two teams playing a single-elimination format. The super-regional winners advance to Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas, where the eight teams will compete for the national championship May 15-18.
The matches shall be regulation dual matches. Three doubles matches consisting of six-game sets will be played for one team point, followed by six singles matches, each valued at one team point, played the best of three sets. No-ad scoring will be used and a seven-point tiebreaker (first to seven points, must win by two points) will be played at six-games-all. During the championship, all matches will be stopped after the doubles point is decided. All remaining individual matches will be stopped once a team winner (four points won) has been determined.
