Arizona Women's Tennis Fall Schedule Released

The Arizona women's tennis team is coming off one of its best seasons under coach Ryan Stotland, with an appearance in the NCAA Tournament last year. It was the first tournament berth in a decade for the Wildcats and the 24th in program history after finishing 19-11 in the regular season.

Arizona also went 8-5 in Big 12 conference play, which was the Wildcats' best record in conference play since 2014. The Wildcats won one game in the conference tournament against Utah before they fell to No. 30 Baylor.

Arizona freshman transfer Maria Garcia earned a bronze medal in mixed doubles at the 2025 FISU World University Games. She became the first Portuguese woman to medal in tennis at the event.

Garcia and her doubles partner, Pedro Araujo, made it to the semifinals, where they lost, but they still reached the podium to earn the bronze medal. She also became just the second Portuguese player ever to reach the podium.

It was announced in June that she transferred to Arizona from Auburn. In her spring debut with the Tigers in the SEC last spring, she posted a 5-1 singles record and 18-11 doubles record.
