The Ducks, led by No. 28 Daria Panova, are coming off a successful weekend at the Student Tennis Cen ter, during which they won two matches without losing a set. Panova is on a nine-game singles winning streak, while senior Moni ka Gieczys and junior Courtney Nagle are both 3-1 in the young reg ular season. The No. 72 men will work their way into the big tennis weekend by taking on Portland on Saturday after winning two matches on the road last weekend. “We are looking for guys to not expect things to be easy because of two recent wins,” head coach Chris Russell said. “We had guys that won last weekend that didn’t do all the things that they were supposed to, so hopefully they desire contin ued improvement.” The Ducks will look to freshmen Thomas Bieri and Arron Spencer, both 4-0 in singles play, to continue their dominance as senior Oded Teig chases the Oregon singles victories record from the No. 1 spot. Despite their recent successes, the Ducks aren’t looking past any opponents. “We have a tough schedule,” Russell said. “So if we are process ing the right stuff, we will be very competitive. “We have a bunch of guys who have the ability to be playing at a different level come late March through May.” No. 64 Manuel Kost returned from an abdominal injury last weekend to pick up wins in his first two matches of the regular season and sophomore Sven Swinnen looks to improve on his own two game win streak.

The Ducks suffered as the four player bench hurt them, and the of fense was not executing as it began. The Cardinal had everything going their way in the final minutes and went on an 11-0 run at one point to lead 40-28. Oregon did not weather the storm, as the Ducks headed to the locker room down 45-28. Stanford had sizzled through the first 20 minutes, shooting over 66 percent from the field and outre bounding the Ducks 17-8.
