IRVINE, Calif. - UC Irvine men's tennis has announced its 2024 dual match schedule, which gets underway in January.
 
For the second year in a row, the Anteaters will kick off the regular season at USC (Jan. 20).
 
UCI is then home for back-to-back matches, hosting BYU on Jan. 26 and San Diego State on Jan. 27.
 
The 'Eaters have a short break before heading back on the road for their next four, traveling to San Francisco (Feb. 10), Santa Clara (Feb. 11), Saint Mary's (Feb. 17) and LMU (Feb. 25).
 
UC Irvine returns to Anteater Tennis Stadium the following week to face Portland (March 3) and Villanova (March 5) prior to a quick trip to UCLA on March 7.
