MINNEAPOLIS, Minn ? The University of Oregon women's tennis team (5-0, 0-0) defeated Missouri, 5-2, en route to the University of Minnesota Court Classic title Sunday. For the second consecutive season, Oregon is out to a perfect start through five matches.
In doubles, Oregon kept its flawless dual record intact, winning at all three positions and improving to 15-0 on the season. No. 45 Daria Panova and Dominika Dieskova improved to 10-3 on the year with a win at the No. 1 position.
"Our doubles play has been outstanding this season," Oregon head coach Nils Schyllander said. "When you jump out to a 1-0 lead like we have been, you really put pressure on the other team."
In singles, Panova and Dieskova won in straight sets at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions respectively.
At No. 3, senior Davina Mendiburu won her team-leading 11th match of the season, defeating Missouri's Hana Kraftova, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
Oregon clinched the match after senior Ester Bak defeated UM's Carolyn Kramer, 7-6, 6-3.
As a team, Oregon is 25-5 in dual singles play, including a perfect 5-0 at the No. 2 and No. 6 positions.
