In singles matches, Aimee Tarun defeated Marlou Kluiving of Oregon at the No. 6 position. Anastasia Reimchen, Annette Dohanics, and Kristen Thoms lost singles matches against the Ducks. Zoe Douglas and Natalie Looney‘s matches were unfinished at the No. 4 and 5 spots, respectively.

“Doubles was incredibly close and hard fought with a lot of momentum swings,” said UI head coach Katie Dougherty. “We competed well today and came up short on a couple of courts. We have a quick turnaround and great opportunity tomorrow against a strong Oklahoma team.”
