The Oregon men’s tennis team improved its record to 5-1 after easily defeating Saint Mary’s and Eastern Washington, each 7-0, in a
Saturday doubleheader.
Senior Sven Swinnen captured two singles victories over the weekend and needs just one more win to become Oregon’s all-time career leader in singles victories. Oded Teig is the current record holder with
69 during his four-year career at Oregon from 1999 to 2003.
Each of the Ducks who competed won their singles and doubles matches. The men finished the weekend with a 12-0 record in singles and a 6-0 record in doubles.
“It was nice to snag two wins,” Oregon head coach Kevin Kowalik said. “We’ve mixed up the lineups
a little and given everyone a
chance to pick up some playing time early in the season, which
we think is going to help us down the road.”
Next up, the Oregon men will travel to face Brigham Young in Provo, Utah, at noon on Saturday.
