ARLINGTON, Texas -- UT Arlington women's tennis will compete in its last regular season match Saturday against North Texas at the UTA Tennis Center at 2 p.m. The Mavericks defeated the Mean Green in their last meeting 4-0.

"We are playing our best tennis right now," UTA coach Diego Benitez said. "Going into Saturday's match we will work to keep our intensity up and keep the momentum on our side."

The Mavericks are 13-5 on the season and are looking to go into the Sun Belt Conference championship on a high note. Lead by junior Elizabeth Thoms, who is 12-2 on the season, UTA will look to finish the season off stronger than ever.

"I am proud with the way our girls competed this season," Benitez said. "We won some big matches and fought hard in the ones we lost. These girls have put in hard work and dedication all year long and I am happy that it has paid off. We will be going into New Orleans with confidence to bring the title home to UTA."

UNT is currently 7-12 overall and 4-4 at home. In the last five meetings between the team, UNT leads the series 3-2. UTA will look to even the score with a victory on Saturday.
