Oregon MTEN, WTEN, and BVB are wrapping up their seasons. Here is how the weekend’s action played out.
Women’s Tennis
#70 Oregon women’s tennis finished their season on the road this last weekend. They had their work cut out for them just to be competitive with a pair of ranked teams in #5 Ohio State and #56 Penn State, so ending the Spring Season with losses was not entirely unexpected.
Ohio State
On Friday, the Ducks were dominated by a very good Buckeyes team in Columbus, and lost 0-4. They first
dropped the doubles point by 6-3 scores in the games that counted. Then Oregon struggled to win sets in the course of losing just their second 4-0 loss of the season.
