The women’s tennis team faced a double header in the Midwest, travelling to #45 Illinois and #39 Northwestern over the weekend. They fell in both meets, remaining winless in Big Ten play.
The meet against Illinois on Saturday got off to a hot start for the Ducks as victories from duos Bridget Mihulka/Karin Young and Marjorie Souza/Candela Aparisi scored Oregon the doubles point. This was the first time in conference play the Ducks went into singles matches with a lead. The momentum was quickly reversed, as the Illini quickly four matches in straight sets to end the meet.
