EUGENE, Ore. – On the heels of two road wins this past weekend, the Oregon men's tennis team held steady at No. 15 in Tuesday's release of the ITA rankings. The ranking is a program high for the Ducks who have won eight straight and carry an 11-1 overall record.

The team will play three of its four matches in March at the home, beginning with a March 7 contest against Middle Tennessee. The Ducks are 8-0 at the Student Tennis Center this year.
