The 'Dogs are 0-4 in true road matches this season but all three have come against nationally ranked opponents, two who were in the top 10. Seven of the Bulldogs' 10 losses have come to ranked opponents as they have faced one of their toughest schedules during head coach Ryan Stotland's tenure at Fresno State.

Georgia Lawson and Emma Wilson remain the top-ranked doubles team in the Mountain West as the two sit at No. 36. The pair is 6-5 during the dual season. Wilson leads the team in singles matches during the dual season with a 7-5 record, 6-4 while at the No. 1 position. She is 1-3 against ranked opponents.

Utah enters Friday's match with an 8-6 record and is coming off of a 7-0 loss to No. 45 Cal. The Utes have won one of their last six matches. Taylor Calton leads the team during the dual season with a 7-5 record, posting a 4-1 record at the No. 5 spot.

BYU sits at 8-4 and are riding a four-match winning streak. The Cougars have played four Mountain West opponents this season, defeating San Diego State, Boise State, New Mexico and Utah State by a combined 20-4. BYU has five players with at least five wins during the dual season, including Polina Malykh who is 7-0 while playing in multiple positions at the backend of the lineup.
