All four Arizona tennis matches in Southern California this weekend were cancelled because of rain.

The No. 47 women's team was supposed to start its Pacific 10 Conference schedule, but was washed out of their matches at No. 12 Southern California and No. 11 UCLA.

The Wildcats hoped to rebound from a pair of losses last weekend, but will have to wait until Friday to try and break their two-game skid.

Neither match will be made up due to conference rules.

Arizona (5-2) returns home to play against the No. 25 University of Oregon Ducks (8-1) Friday at 1:30 p.m. at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

The No. 36 men's team was rained out as well this weekend. The men also hoped to get back on track against No. 56 New Mexico and No. 17 Pepperdine at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif.

Arizona (5-3) will be in action at 1:30 p.m. Friday at in-state rival No. 27 ASU (3-1).
