The Oregon tennis teams finished another commonplace weekend at home, where Duck fans saw senior Oded Teig win like he has for the past four years. Only this time, he broke the record for career singles victories.
Teig beat California-Santa Barbara’s Micro Schwindt, No. 122 in the nation, 6-3, 6-3 en route to win No. 65. Before Teig’s record-setting performance, the No. 49 women took on two northwest rivals at the Student Tennis Center.
The women split their home contest with the Washington schools. The Ducks beat No. 44 Washington State 5-2 on Sunday after a 6-1 loss to No. 20 Washington on Saturday.
The lone Duck point from Saturday’s match came from No. 28 Daria Panova’s victory over No. 80 Claire Carter as the Huskies swept the doubles and won five singles matches, three in three sets.
Sunday, the Ducks rebounded from another doubles-point loss to win five of six singles matches, including junior Courtney Nagle’s 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 77 Lorena Arias.
Panova improved to 9-1 on the season by defeating Orolya Sallai 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the No. 1 spot. Duck freshman Jamie Marshall clinched the victory by battling back down 4-1 in the first and third sets to win 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.
Saturday, the No. 66 men lengthened their winning streak to five with a 6-1 victory over Pacific.
No. 64 Manuel Kost remained undefeated in the dual season by taking the Tigers’ No. 1 player, Arnar Sigurdsson, 6-0, 7-6. Duck freshman Thomas Bieri also went to 7-0 on the year with a 6-2, 6-1 win from the No. 4 spot.
Sunday, the Ducks celebrated Teig’s record with a 6-1 win over California-Santa Barbara.
The men improved to 7-1 on the season as they swept the doubles and took five of six singles matches, including Bieri’s eighth victory in as many matches.
The 8-3 women stay home this weekend for matches against No. 5 Stanford on Saturday and No. 4 California on Sunday. The men head to Washington to take on the Huskies on Friday and Purdue on Saturday.
