ARLINGTON, Texas – UT Arlington women's tennis has added a match against a power conference foe to its schedule. The Mavericks will take on the Arizona Wildcats at no sooner than 3 p.m. Saturday at the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex in Dallas.

The match will make it two in a row against opponents from the Big 12 Conference to open the spring for UTA. The Mavericks (0-1) first dual match was a 4-0 loss to the Houston Cougars. 

Arizona and UTA have met just once, a 6-1 Wildcat victory in 2006.
