Arlington, Texas - The UT Arlington men's tennis team will take a short break from the road to host four matches at the UTA Tennis Center.

UTA first takes on Columbia on Friday, March 18. The Lions are 5-4 on the season and have won their last three matches. Before Columbia takes on the Mavericks they will face SMU (Mar. 15) and TCU (Mar. 17).
