No. 14-seeded UA hosts the first-round match at 1 p.m. Friday at the Robson Tennis Center.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star The stakes are bigger, but the No.-14 seeded UA men's tennis team is viewing the program’s first-ever NCAA regional in Tucson no differently than any other match during the regular season.
After last season when the players and coaches thought they were hosting before finding out they would be traveling to North Carolina for the regional, the team was prepared to travel if they weren’t selected to host this year. When they heard their name called as a host, it was “a big sigh of relief."
It took “a couple of hours” following Monday’s announcement for Boise State’s coach and Shields' older brother, Luke Shields, to respond to his calls and messages, but he eventually responded as they’ll be bringing the whole family to Tucson this weekend to watch the match.
