EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon women's tennis team opened its fall season with a strong showing on the first day of the Duck Invitational, collecting five doubles victories to go with five singles wins Friday at the Student Tennis Center.

The Ducks began the day going 5-3 across eight doubles matches, including winning three of four doubles matches against Portland in the day's first doubles session. Paired with different partners throughout the day, freshman Hadley Appling, freshman Virginia Crocker, sophomore Patsy Daughters and sophomore Avery Jennings each posted a 2-0 doubles records on the day.

Appling and Jenning began the day with a 6-0 victory over Kylie Canubida and Kennedy Harris of Portland, while Appling and Crocker earned a 6-3 win over the Pilots' duo in the second round of doubles. Daughters and redshirt senior Olivia Symons handled UP's Nadine Arbiazar Martinez and Meagen Pearson 6-3 in first doubles session.

All nine Ducks competed in singles, primarily matching up against opponents from Utah. Appling, Hinata Furutani, Tilde Jagare, Bridget Mihulka and Juliet Santitto were each victorious during singles play, with Appling and Furutani picking up their first collegiate singles victories in the process.

Santitto overcame a 6-2 first-set loss to rebound with a 6-2, 10-5 win in the next two sets against Portland's Meagan Pearson, while four Ducks closed out their respective matches in straight sets. Mihulka needed a second-set tiebreak to finish out her match with Utah's Andjelija Markovic.

The three-day event continues Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Student Tennis Center. Admission is free and open to all fans.
