Oregon sophomore Daria Panova cruised to victory in the Pacific-10 Conference Indoor Championships on Sunday, capping a successful weekend for the women’s tennis squad.
Panova, ranked 28th in the country, toppled No. 25 Lauren Barnikow of Stanford, 6-3, 6-1, Sunday in Seattle. Panova never lost a set and beat four ranked opponents on her path to the tournament win.
Although there was no team winner at the event, the other Ducks had success in Seattle as well. Junior Courtney Nagle upset the No. 3 player in the country, USC’s Jewel Peterson.
