Key Matchups: Dominika Dieskova will matchup against the 20th-ranked Jessica Nguyen of Stanford, the No. 1 ranked team in the country.

Monica Hoz de Vila will face a tough match in Theresa Logar, also of Stanford, currently ranked No. 12.
Oregon’s only doubles team in the championship bracket, Dieskova and Olivos, must face California’s pair of Henkel and Kusano, who played out of the No. 2 position in the Bears’ doubles lineup and compiled a 7-4 record in duals.
The Greatest?: Senior Dominika Dieskova has now moved into first all-time on Oregon’s career matches played list with 137, passing the previous record of 120 held by Alina Wygonowska. With a current career record of 85-56, the Bratislava, Slovakia native needs 9 wins to move into first place all-time in career wins.
The Greatest Doubles Pair?: Ana Cecilia Olivos and Dieskova became the winningest doubles pair in Oregon tennis history with their win over Texas Tech’s pair of Lakann Wagley and Anne-Sophie Fankam on Jan. 26, 2007. They currently hold a 16-7 record through the spring season and sit atop the career wins list with an astonishing record of 49-22.
