The Ducks head into this weekend's matches with five straight wins, after beating Wisconsin in a neutral site match and Denver on the road before returning home and easing past Eastern Washington, Portland and Seattle U. The doubles point has been the key for Oregon throughout the early season, as the Ducks have won the opening point in all six of their wins while dropping doubles in each of the two losses. 

Ares Teixido Garcia has led Oregon in singles play during the dual season, currently 7-0 in the spring and 12-1 overall on the year in singles. Sophie Luescher is 12-4 on the year and 5-2 in dual matches playing at the No. 1 spot. A pair of other Ducks have turned in strong play in singles, as Myah Petchey is 11-4 on the season followed by Uxia Martinez Moral at 10-4, while freshman Karin Young has gone 5-1 after joining the team in January. Oregon has also mixed and matched in doubles play all year, using different doubles combinations in the dual season led by Misaki Kobayashi and Teixido Garcia at 3-0. 

Following this weekend's matches, Oregon will open Pac-12 play on the road against Stanford (March 4) and California (March 6).
