TEMPE – No. 37 Sun Devil Men's Tennis dropped Saturday's Senior Day contest 4-0 to No. 12 Arizona in the 2025 Territorial Cup meeting between the two teams. Saturday marked the last match of the regular season, as ASU will prepare for the Big 12 Conference Tournament April 17-20. The Sun Devils secured a 10-win season for the third straight season, and currently sit as a six seed in the Big 12 bracket and will likely face the three seed on Friday, April 18 if the standings do not change after tomorrow's matches conclude.
Arizona snatched the doubles point with 6-3 and 6-4 wins, respectively, on courts one and two. ASU led on court three when the match was abandoned, though it was too late as Arizona led 1-0. The Sun Devils were swept in first sets, and eventually fell from the fifth, sixth, and first position to go home scoreless in the 4-0 defeat.

The Sun Devils will head to Waco, Texas as Baylor plays host for the Big 12 Championships, taking place April 17-20.

If the standings stay the same, the six-seeded Sun Devils would face the three-seeded Arizona Wildcats, a team that has swept ASU twice this season.
