Baylor's 8th-ranked women's tennis team will hit the road for matches against No. 17 Pepperdine and No. 7 UCLA on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

The matches were originally scheduled to be played Jan. 25-26, but inclement weather forced the teams to postpone the matches.

Baylor (7-1) is 4-2 all-time against Peppedine (5-2) in a series that dates back to an 8-1 loss on March 11, 1993. The last time the Bears faced Pepperdine (April 7, 2007), Baylor emerged with a 4-3 win.

UCLA (8-1) and Baylor have split their only two meetings, both ending 5-2. On Feb. 16, 2001, the first meeting between the two teams, Baylor picked up the 5-2 victory. The last time these two teams met, March 13, 2007, UCLA earned the 5-2 nod.

Baylor is coming off a 4-3 victory over No. 16 William & Mary. Monday's match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. CST while Tuesday's action will begin at 1:30 p.m. CST.
