USC Women's Tennis Defeats Oregon to Remain Perfect in Pac-12 Play
March 23, 2019 | Women's Tennis, Features
The No. 13 USC women's tennis team defeated Oregon 5-2 on Saturday (March 23) in Eugene, Ore. to improve to 12-2 overall and 3-0 in Pac-12 Conference play. The last time the Women of Troy held a 12-2 record was in the 2015 season. USC extends their winning streak to eight-straight matches.
Â
Oregon began the match by forfeiting the court three doubles to automatically give USC its first win. The Duck duo of Eshet/Kahfiani defeated USC's Weissmann/Willson 6-1 on court two to notch a win for Oregon. On court one, the Trojan tandem of No. 20 ranked Kulikov/Valdes beat Oregon's Nasser/Wagner 6-2 to claim the doubles point.
Â
Before singles started, Oregon forfeited court six to give USC's Estella Jaeger a point. USC began singles with a 2-0 advantage. Trojan Constance Branstine closed out her match first with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Oregon's Julia Eshet on court four. Soon after, USC's Sydney Van Alphen defeated Duck Taryn Fujimori 6-0, 6-2 on court five to clinch the match for the Women of Troy. This is Van Alphen's second clinch of the 2019 season.
Â
Although USC had already won the match, the remaining courts were played out. Oregon's Paiton Wagner defeated USC's Ana Neffa 6-1, 6-4 on court two and Duck Rifanty Kahfiani beat Trojan Becca Weissmann 6-3, 4-6, 1-0 (10-7) on court three. Trojan Salma Ewing closed out the day with a win for the Trojans when she defeated Oregon's Daniela Nasser 3-6, 7-6 (2), 1-0 (10-6) on court one.
Â
USC returns home after being on the road for a month for a big test as they challenge No.19 California on Friday (March 29) and No. 4 Stanford on Saturday (March 30).
