Notable: The win was Oregon's first shutout of a Pac-12 opponent since beating Utah 4-0 in the 2018 Pac-12 Tournament … It's also the Ducks' first 7-0 win against a conference opponent since April 7, 2012 … Tjen moved to 9-0 on the year in singles play and has still not lost in either singles or doubles play this year … Kahfiani won her eighth straight decision in singles play and improved to 8-1 on the year … The Ducks have now won the doubles point in nine of the 10 matches and have only lost four doubles matches all season.
