After an off week last weekend, the Ducks seek to snap a four-match skid after dropping matches at No. 10 USC and 15th-ranked UCLA to close the regular season. Seven of UO's last eight matches – and nine of its last 11 – in the regular season came against teams in the ITA's top-75 poll. Oregon checks in at No. 64 nationally while the Wildcats enter the conference tournament as the nation's 41st-rank team.
Uxia Martinez Moral leads UO with 12 dual singles wins, as she now sits alone in fourth place in program history with 74 career singles victories. Jo-Yee Chan and Karin Young both tied for second with 11 singles wins while freshman Candela Aparisi has a team-leading four victories during Pac-12 play and has won five of her last six completed matches overall.
On the double side, Chan and Sophie Luescher have picked up four doubles wins this spring, with Aparisi and Young owning a team-high seven doubles wins during the spring dual season.
The Ducks and Wildcats met in Eugene during the regular season, with UA earning a tightly contested 4-2 win at the Student Tennis Center on March 24. Aparisi and Chan each picked up singles wins to contribute to the Ducks' point total, with Chan gutting out a three-set victory at the No. 3 spot in the lineup.
Arizona holds a slim 14-17 lead in the all-time series, as Wednesday's match will mark the first between the sides in the Pac-12 Tournament.
Reece Carter is the lone ranked Wildcat in UA's lineup, entering the postseason as the ITA's No. 111 singles player. Carter and doubles partner Brandelyn Fulgenzi make up the 39th-ranked tandem in the latest doubles rankings.
