LAS CRUCES, N.M. – After starting the season with a win at home, the New Mexico state women's tennis team hits the road for the first time this season for a pair of matches against Arizona and Arizona State this weekend.
 
First up for the Aggies will be the Wildcats of Arizona on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m. (MT). NM State lost the last meeting between the two programs 7-0 in Tucson back on Jan. 24, 2015.

New Mexico State will then wrap up its weekend slate with a 2 p.m. match against Arizona State on Sunday, Feb. 3, and can be seen on the Pac-12 Live-Stream. The last time the Aggies and Sun Devils squared off on the court was back on March 23, 1996, a 9-0 affair in favor of ASU in Tempe. Arizona State is 3-2 overall on the year after starting the dual season off with three-straight wins over UC Davis, Drake and Northern Arizona before falling to Wake Forest and conference rival Cal.
