PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – The Oregon women's tennis team closed out play at the ITA All-American Championships Wednesday as the doubles pairs of Alyssa Tobita and Rifanty Kahfiani along with Shweta Sangwan and Julia Eshet fell in the second round of qualifying.
How it Happened: Both Duck doubles teams opened day two of qualifying play bright and early once again Wednesday morning.
The seventh-seeded duo of Sangwan and Eshet faced off against Florida Atlantic's Aliona Bolsova and Natalia Boltinskaya falling to the Owl pair 8-4.
It was a similar result for Tobita and Kahfiani as the Kansas team of Nina Khmelnitchkaia and Anastasia Rychagova got the better of the Ducks 8-3.
What it Means: With their losses today, the Ducks close out play at the All-Americans and return to Eugene to continue their fall season.
Quotable: Head Coach Alison Silverio
"There were a lot of positive lessons this week at the ITA All-American event. Moving forward, our tactical preparation and discipline must increase. I'm excited for the improvements we will gain throughout the fall."
Up Next: The Ducks will return to the court for their first full team tournament of the fall season Friday (Oct. 13) at the Washington Invitational.
