SANTA CLARA, Calif.—After a successful return to the Mission Campus on Feb. 24, the Santa Clara women's tennis team faces two opponents this weekend.

The Broncos (3-4) enter this weekend after recording a victory over a Cal Poly. Playing for points, the 4-0 win brought head coach Ben Cabell and the squad their first triumph over the Mustangs in Cabell's six years of coaching Santa Clara tennis.
