By the end of the 3 day event, each team will play 7 -8 matches, a champion is crowned in each bracket, with the national champion crowned from the Gold Bracket. The national championship match is scheduled for 6:30 Saturday evening.

UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, and Pepperdine had early matches and they didn’t let the weather dampen their spirits. They were happy to begin hitting tennis balls after an hour or so of” squeegeeing”. The later matches saw UCLA, UCI and USD take the courts to begin thier competition.

UCLA, UCI, Cal Poly and UCSB have competed several times in this event, and drew upon their experience to win their first 2 matches. Pepperdine, returning for their second time, had 2 close matches, losing both by only 4 games each.USD USD, a first time participant, played tough, forcing overtime in their first match, but also fell in both.
