INDIANAPOLIS – The UCLA women's tennis team was picked as the No. 7 seed in the upcoming NCAA Divison I Tennis Championship, the selection committee announced Monday. As one of the tournament's top 16 seeds, UCLA will host first- and second-round matches at Los Angeles Tennis Center on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5.

With its selection, UCLA is one of two schools (Stanford) to reach the NCAA Championships each year since the tournament format was instituted in 1982.

UCLA (18-7) will take on Big Sky champion Northern Arizona (15-8) in Saturday's first round, with first serve scheduled for 12 p.m., PT. The Bruins and the Lumberjacks have never met. NAU is riding an 11-match winning streak into NCAAs.

Saturday's first match will feature LSU (16-11) of the SEC and San Diego (17-4), which took the top spot in the WCC during the regular season before bowing out of the conference tournament in the semifinal round. The Tigers and Toreros are set for a 9 a.m. start. The regional final will be played Sunday at 1 p.m.

Thirty-one conference champions earned the tournament's automatic bids. Thirty-three others rounded out the 64-team field as at-large selections. Winners of each first- and second-round regional will move on to the super-regional sites. As one of the field's top eight seeds, UCLA is also in line to host a Round of 16 match. The final eight teams will come together in Orlando Fla. to compete for the national championship from May 16-19. The USTA National Campus will host the final three rounds.

All matches will be regulation dual matches, consisting of three doubles matches and six singles matches. The first team to collect two doubles victories shall be declared the winner. Likewise, the match will be stopped when the first team reaches the necessary four points to clinch the overall win.
