Also in the region are No. 21 UCLA and No. 30 Arizona State, playing at 10 a.m. Friday. The regional final will take place on Saturday, May 2 at noon.
 
It's two straight seasons hosting the first and second round regional for 11^th-year head coach Ryan Keckley and the Toreros, who hosted for the first time in program history in 2025 and set an attendance record at the Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center.
 
USD (20-5, 6-1 WCC) topped the then-ranked No. 20 and now-Big West Champion Gauchos (18-7, 5-1 Big West) on the road in Santa Barbara, 4-2 on Feb. 21. The Toreros also faced UCLA (17-7, 10-3 B1G) and Arizona State (17-10, 4-4 Big 12) at Hogan Tennis Center, suffering defeat to the Bruins once in February and the Sun Devils twice back in January.
 
The Toreros lost just five matches on the season, including a 10-match win streak that lasted over a month with five straight shutouts to start conference play en route to a fifth straight WCC Regular Season title. On Saturday, April 25, USD mounted a remarkable comeback in four and a half hours to clinch its third straight conference tournament championship. USD's most notable wins on the season in addition to at UCSB are vs. No. 16 Baylor, vs. No. 17 Arizona, at No. 19 USC and four other top-30 wins.
