While the women’s team took on the Cougars in Pullman, Wash., the men’s team had a rematch against Washington in Seattle. The Huskies (11-12, 2-5) claimed a 4-3 win over the Ducks (15-8, 1-6 Pac-12).

Although the Ducks won the doubles point with victories from the 64th-ranked duo of Robin Cambier and Kevin Farin and the pair of Daniel Sardu and Jayson Amos in the No. 1 and No. 3 spots respectively, the Huskies’ dominant performance in singles is what pulled them ahead of Oregon.

In singles, Washington took every match, except for the No. 3 and No. 6 spots. There, Amos defeated Michael Chamerski 6-2, 6-3 and Daan Maasland edged out Washington’s Gal Hakak  7-6 (5), 6-4.

In the other matches, Washington dominated.

Emmett Egger defeated No. 79 Cambier 6-1, 6-4 for the No. 1 place, the first match to complete.

Following Cambier’s loss, Oregon’s Joey Swaysland fell to Viktor Farkas 6-3, 6-0. In the final two matches to wrap up, Farin walked away from Husky, Max Manthou with a loss after a third set determined the winner (3-6, 7-5, 6-3).

The No. 4 spot is what clinched it for the Huskies. Jeff Hawke’s 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) win over Sardu ended the very close meet between the two rival schools.
