MALIBU, California – Fresh off a second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Pepperdine men's tennis program has announced its highly competitive and home-heavy 2023 spring schedule.
 
Eleven home matches dot the calendar for Pepperdine. From February 25th through April 1st, the Waves will be at home eight times with just one neutral site contest in that time frame, a March 19 meeting with USC at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California.
 
Pepperdine will square off against 11 NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago, including seven schools that won an NCAA Tournament match. Among those schools on the schedule that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, four will visit Malibu: Tulsa (Sunday, February 26), UC Irvine (Thursday, March 2), Oklahoma (Saturday, March 11) and San Diego (Friday, April 14).
 
The marquee road trip of the season will take place in February, as the Waves visit Texas (Friday, February 10) and TCU (Sunday, February 12). Texas was in the round of 16 last season, while TCU was the top overall seed in the tournament before bowing out in the national quarterfinals.
 
The 2023 West Coast Conference tournament will take place Friday and Saturday, April 28-29, 2023. The venue has not been announced yet.
 
Last season, Pepperdine won a first-round NCAA Tournament match for the second time in as many seasons. Head coach Adam Schaechterle returns seven players with two freshman additions. The Waves finished with an overall record of 18-8 and ended the season ranked 24^th in the country.
