Los Angeles - The 12th-ranked USC women's tennis team swept the doubles matches and won four of six singles matches to defeat the University of Oregon, 5-2, in a non-conference match Friday afternoon at Marks Tennis Stadium.
With the win, the Women of Troy improve to 8-3 overall, while the Ducks fall to 3-5.
USC jumped out to an early 1-0 lead by taking all three doubles matches, 8-4, 8-0 and 8-0.
