"This is kind of a championship-type meet, with most of the West coast teams competing," UA coach Dave Murray said. "It is excellent competition on an excellent track."

The indoor meet will feature teams from the Western Athletic, Big Sky, Big West and Pacific 10 Conferences.

The Arizona women's tennis team will put its undefeated record on the line against third-ranked Stanford (4-0) and fourth-ranked Cal (3-0), who are the early favorites to win the Pacific 10 Conference.

Both matches will be held at the Robson Tennis Center. Arizona will play Stanford at 1:30 p.m. today and Cal at 11 a.m. Saturday.
