Making History - The men's tennis team has arguably had one of its best seasons to date with five historic victories under their belt. The Cats, who are undefeated in Pac-12 play, took down Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Stanford and California. If they remain undefeated this weekend then the Wildcats will win their first regular season Pac-12 championship ever.
