The Ducks completed their sweep of the visiting Washington schools after a 5-2 victory over the No. 35 Huskies on Monday afternoon at the Student Tennis Center. On Sunday, it was the No. 38 Washington State Cougars who fell, 7-0.
Oregon is now 10-8 on the season and 3-1 in the Pac-10. The Huskies are now 10-6 overall and still looking for their first Pac-10 win at 0-5.
Oregon freshman Celine Rolly defeated her second ranked opponent in as many days, knocking off No. 30 Venise Chan, 6-4, 6-2, at the top spot. Rolly is now 10-8 on the year for the Ducks playing in the No. 1 singles spot.
Junior Carmen Seremeta also prevailed for the second straight day with a hard-fought three-set, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 6-1, win over Washington's Aleksandra Malovic. Seremeta continues to lead Oregon with a 12-6 singles record in 2008.
The freshman class continued its success as Stephanie Macfarlane won for the second straight day in the No. 4 spot. The native of Melbourne, Australia dropped her first set, but battled back to record a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Joyce Ardies.
The Ducks final singles win came at the No. 6 spot as Ana Cecilia Olivos defeated the Huskies' Kelsey Anonsen in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0 .
Washington's No. 99 Tara Simpson defeated Oregon's sole senior Anna Powaska, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7) at the No. 3 spot of the lineup, while Vanja Radunovic also scored a win for the Huskies, defeating Claudia Hirt, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5.
For the second straight match, Oregon also took the doubles point as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams registered wins. The tandem of Hirt and Seremeta pulled through with a 9-8 (5) win over Anonsen and Chan at No. 2, while Powaska and Rolly were victorious, 8-5, at No.1 over Washington's team of Ardies and Simspn.
