02/01/25 | Women's Tennis
EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon women's tennis team pushed its season-opening winning streak to five matches, as the Ducks took down Portland 4-2 on Saturday at the Student Tennis Center.
The Ducks remain unbeaten to start the 2025 spring campaign, playing all five matches so far at home. UO's 5-0 start marks its best to open a season since starting 8-0 in 2013.
After splitting on the top two doubles courts, the doubles point came down to a battle at No. 3. Tied 4-4, Tilde Jagare and Juliet Santitto won the next two games to hand the Ducks the first point of the afternoon.
Jagare and Santitto improved to 2-0 this spring together. Avery Jennings and Julia Visaya, playing at No. 2, won their match 6-2 to claim their second spring victory.
Oregon pushed its lead to 3-0 with identical 6-1, 6-1 wins on courts 3 and 5 by Patsy Daughters and Jagare, respectively. Both players remained unbeaten in singles play this spring, improving to 5-0.
The Pilots got two points with wins at Nos. 2 and 6, cutting the Ducks' lead to 3-2, before Marjorie Souza earned the deciding points on court 1, 6-3, 6-2. Souza improved to 2-1 in the dual season while playing at the No. 1 spot in the UO lineup.
Through five spring matches, Oregon's doubles teams are a combined 11-2, while boasting a 19-4 singles mark. The Ducks finish the weekend on Sunday against No. 23 Texas Tech at 10 a.m.
