No. 2 seed Arizona rallied after losing the doubles point but lost 4-3 to No. 3 seed Utah in the Pac-12 Men's Tennis Championship on Friday night in Ojai, California.
The loss knocked the Wildcats out of the tournament. They now await the NCAA selection show on Monday to find out if they've done enough to host in the opening round of the NCAA Championship.
With the match tied at 3-3, Jonas Ziverts and Geronimo Espin Busleiman split their first two sets, with Ziverts winning via tiebreaker in the second. Busleiman dominated the third set, taking it 6-1 to send the Utes into the Pac-12 finals for the first time in program history. Utah will face No. 1 seed USC.
