Ducks Fall at No. 10 Cal
04/05/24 | Women's Tennis
BERKELEY, Calif. – Facing a lineup with three ranked singles players and a top-25 doubles pair, No. 59 Oregon fell to No. 10 California Friday afternoon 6-1 at the Hellman Tennis Complex.
Senior Uxia Martinez Moral earned the Ducks' point with her 6-4, 6-3 win over Mao Mushika at No. 4 singles. The win marked Martinez Moral's team-leading 12th singles win of the spring, as she has won six of her last seven matches.
The Golden Bears won the doubles point with wins at the top two doubles positions. The nation's 22nd-ranked pairing of Mao Mushika and Hannah Viller Moeller bested UO's Jo-Yee Chan and Sophie Luescher 6-2. The point was later clinched when Jessica Alsola and Katya Wiershom earned a 6-1 victory over Tilde Jagare and Martinez Moral on court two.
Cal kept its momentum going into singles, winning five of six singles matches in straight sets. Each of the Bears' top three in the lineup were ranked in the nation's top 75, highlighted by 44th-ranked Viller Moeller at the top spot.
All nine of Oregon's losses this season have come against teams currently ranked in the ITA's top 75.
The Ducks finish their trip to the Bay Area against No. 5 Stanford on Sunday at 11 a.m.
