Ore gon and UCLA continued to ex change blows, as sophomore Sarah Colistro dominated Jennifer Donahue 6-0,6-0. The pressure fell on sophomore Janice Nyland. The Duck lost a tough opening set to Elizibeth Schmidt, 5-7 but stormed back to take the second set, 6-4. With the entire Oregon squad rallying beside her, Nyland disposed of Schmidt, 6 1, and she tied the contest, 3-3. Doubles matches were the Ducks’ downfall, as UCLA won two of the three. Oregon had to forget the 5-4 loss and focus on Saturday’s opponent: No. 12 Southern California. Four Ducks played three-set matches that came down to the final point. But the Women of Troy won three of the four to clinch the victory. Geiczys lost a heartbreaking three-set match to No. 4 Jewel Peterson. Colistro fell to No. 71 Anita Loyola.
