It was the second day of the Pac-12 Championships in Ojai, Calif. and the women’s tennis team changed their focus from yesterday’s singles play to today’s doubles.

Representing Oregon in the doubles championship draw, Lana Buttner and Nicole Long faced California’s No. 4-seeded Lynn Chi and Anett Schutting in the round of 16. The Buttner-Long duo, which wasn’t a typical combination during the regular season, lost 8-4.

The two Oregon pairs had similar results in the doubles invitational draw. Allie and Kadie Hueffner fell 8-3 to Arizona State’s Kassidy Jump and Joanna Smith. Lena Macomson and Maja Salibasic were defeated 8-2 by Utah’s No. 2 Luisa Gerstner da Rosa and Sarah Richter. Both losses were in the round of 16.

Despite being the first day of doubles, the singles consolation draw had games to be carried out. Three of four matches went to an extra set, but Salibasic’s 6-1, 2-6, (11-9) win over Colorado’s Ashley Tiefel was the only win for Oregon in the division.

Games with Kadie and Allie Hueffner also went to an extra set. Allie lost 6-3, 3-6, (10-4) to Inge Henrikx of Arizona, who teammate Lina Akesson had defeated 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 the previous day. Washington State’s Dajana Ognjenovic beat Kadie 2-6, 6-3, (10-6).

The only singles match which didn’t go to extra play was between Macomson and Washington’s Natalie Allen. Allen topped Macomson, who hadn’t played yesterday, 6-1, 6-3.
