Head coach Courtney Nagle enters her fifth season coaching the women’s team. Last season, the Ducks posted a 15-7 record - their best since 2005 - and a spot in the NCAA Tournament, where they lost in the first round to #18 Michigan. Eight players from last year’s team return, and Oregon is looking to build upon last season’s successes.

The Ducks opened Friday against Portland State. PSU played well in the doubles matches, but Oregon was able to prevail and get the doubles point. In the singles matches, the Ducks cruised to victory with Ares Texido Garcia, Uxia Martinez Moral, and Misaki Kobayashi delivering convincing wins as Oregon swept PSU 4-0.
On Sunday, the Ducks hosted the Seattle Redhawks. Oregon again picked up the doubles point before winning five of the six singles matches, with wins by Sophie Luescher, Ares Teixido Garcia, Uxia Martinez Moral, Jo-Yee Chan, and Misaki Kobayashi. Oregon prevailed 6-1 for their second win of the season.
This coming weekend, Oregon travels to Stillwater, OK, for the ITA Kickoff Weekend. On Saturday they face their first real test of how good this season’s squad can be, as they face #14 Oklahoma State.
