The Golden Knights (8-8) will be looking to snap a two-match losing streak. Earlier in the week, the team fell to a pair of ranked teams - No. 21 Tennessee and No. 74 Air Force.
Seniors Joel Allen and Antonio Sierra earned singles victories against the Vols on Tuesday. Tennessee won the match, 5-2.
Despite losing, 4-3, to Air Force on Thursday afternoon, the Golden Knights claimed the doubles point and two singles tilts. Junior Ener Gursoy, who has won six of his last eight matches, earned a 6-0, 6-2 decision over Tyler McClung at No. 2. Against Justin Lau at No. 5, sophomore Sebastian Delgado took a 6-2, 6-1 victory.
Gursoy and Delgado teamed up at No. 3 double to post an 8-1 win over Trevor Johnson and Robby Alexander.
The match will be the third tilt of a four-match homestand for the Golden Knights.
Pacific enters the match at 6-6 on the season. The Tigers dropped a 4-2 match at USF on Thursday. The team plays Cornell in Tampa on Friday morning.
