Ducks Win Thriller for First Big Ten Win
03/28/25 | Women's Tennis
EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon women's tennis team picked up its first Big Ten win and snapped a six-match skid Friday, as the Ducks defeated Indiana 4-3 at the UO Student Tennis Center.
After a back-and-forth match and Oregon needing one point to secure victory, two singles matches remained and both were in a third and final set. When all was said and done, the match hinged on a third-set tiebreaker on court six.
Juliet Santitto dropped the opening set at No. 6, 6-3, but rebounded with a 6-4 win in the second. With the match tied at 6-6 in the third, Santitto and Elisabeth Dunac went into a tiebreaker. The tiebreak was tied at 6-6 and again at 7-7 before Santitto won the final two points to give her team its first conference win.
Oregon (8-8, 1-6) began the day by grabbing the doubles point before the lead changed hands multiple times during singles play.
After splitting on courts one and two, the doubles point came down to No. 3 doubles. UO's tandem of Candela Aparisi and Marjorie Souza were tied 3-3 with IU's Dunac and Sarah L'Alier, before going on to claim a 6-4 victory.
Bridget Mihulka and Karin Young won their match at No. 2, 6-1, to pick up their second Big Ten win and improve their spring mark to 4-2. For Aparisi and Souza, the win marked their fourth of the spring and second in league play.
Indiana (7-9, 1-5) claimed the first two singles matches to take a 2-1 lead, but Jagare won in straight sets to even the match at 2-2 before Patsy Daughters pulled out a comeback victory in three sets to put the Ducks in front 3-2.
Through 15 spring matches, Oregon's doubles teams are a combined 21-20 to go with a 36-36 singles mark. Oregon wraps up the weekend by hosting No. 63 Purdue on Sunday at the Student Tennis Center (11 a.m.).
