Both Women’s and Men’s UCLA Tennis teams played in their respective NCAA Semifinal matches today with a split decision. The Men’s team had battled with Oklahoma, but fell to the Sooners 2-4. Meanwhile, the Women’s team defeated Florida 4-0 to move on to the NCAA National Championship.
The men had taken their battle as far as they could but ran into a determined Oklahoma team. The Bruins were tied 2-2 at one point, but the Sooners came through in their final two matches.

The Women have found a slightly different path to the NCAA Championship. They dismantled the Gators and blanked them 4-0 in their Semifinal match-up. It was nothing short of domination by the Bruins.
