LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech men’s and women’s tennis teams are headed to the NCAA Tennis Championships this weekend.

The No. 26 Lady Raiders (17-8) earned their eighth straight NCAA tournament berth and will be the No. 2 seed at this weekend’s four team tournament. Tech joins UNLV, Illinois State and host team Southern California in Los Angeles for the matches.

Texas Tech is scheduled to face UNLV in the opening round on Saturday at 11 a.m. The Rebels hold a 6-2 all-time record over the Lady Raiders, but Texas Tech won the last meeting, 5-2, in Las Vegas on Feb. 26, 2012.

The No. 24 Red Raiders (15-11) are heading to Palo Alto, Calif. to square off with UC Santa Barbara from the Big West conference on Friday at 1 p.m. CT to open up the regional round of the NCAA Tournament.
