Oregon MTEN falls to No. 10 Arizona Wildcats 4-1 on Senior Day

By Jason Hardrict

Oregon Men’s Tennis fell to the No. 10 ranked Arizona Wildcats 4-1 on Sunday afternoon. The Wildcats spoiled Senior Day for the Ducks and were crowned the Pac-12 Champions. The Wildcats won every singles match in the match. The only point awarded to the Ducks was after they won two out of the three doubles matches. It came down to Oregon’s Matthew Burton and Vlad Breazu. Breazu and David Cierny’s match went unfinished. Burton lost both sets to Arizona’s Herman Hoyereal which ultimately gave the Wildcats the victory in the match.

Oregon finishes 14-12 overall and 3-5 in the conference going into the Pac-12 Championships in Ojai, California. They will kick off the tournament against UCLA this Thursday. After the loss to the Wildcats, head coach Nils Schylander said, “We still got Ojai, the Pac-12 Championship. We’re looking forward to that”. The Ducks have a chance to make the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships if they win the Pac-12 Championships…

SB STORY: Oregon gains advantage on Oregon State, winning 11-3

Written Story by Griffin Bowes

In the first of three games in the final rivalry series as part of the Pac-12 Conference, the Oregon Ducks (25-15) took care of business against Oregon State, winning 11-3. They were looking for a strong bounce-back performance following the series loss at Arizona, and they got one. 

Oregon dominated from the start, giving up no hits in the top of the first and immediately getting to work on offense in the bottom. Kai Luschar scored to put the Ducks up 1-0 after the first, then the Ducks took advantage of a very productive second inning in which they scored four runs and gave up none. Luschar was one of the main contributors, as she had a double RBI in that inning. While Oregon St was able to dent the scoreboard in the third inning, they never appeared to be in contention today. Oregon had firm control of the game all the way through, creating confidence for the team and the fans heading into the next two games against the…

WLAX PREVIEW: Oregon looking to rebound against Arizona St. after rough loss to San Diego St.

By Tayten Torgrimson

Oregon (7-5, 1-4 Pac-12) comes into a home matchup against the Arizona State Sun Devils (7-8, 2-3 Pac-12) after a one-game trip to San Diego where Oregon suffered heartbreak. Oregon tied the game with about eight minutes left, then gave up a game-winning San Diego State goal with around three minutes left. It’s safe to say that conference play hasn’t treated Oregon kindly. Oregon's only win came against a talented UC Davis team that had fans amped for the rest of the season. Then Oregon battled against a very good USC team but fell short in the second half, and now San Diego State is the worst loss under first-year coach Jess Drummond. A game Oregon should have won handily on paper, SDSU had one win before this game, per usual the offense did its part, but Oregon, who has had excellent defense at times, seemingly crumbled.

How Oregon can recover:

The answer is simple, and it’s one that I have said multiple times.…
