In the first day of the women’s tennis Pac-12 championships, the Oregon women’s tennis team had six girls competing. All except one fell in the round of 32 for their respective division.

Lana Buttner and Nicole Long represented Oregon in the Women’s Singles Championship division and Maja Salibasic, Lina Åkesson, Allie Hueffner and Kadie Hueffner participated in the Women’s Singles Invitational division.

In the championship draw, both Buttner and Long lost in the round of 32 after going to tiebreakers. Buttner’s match against University of Washington’s Julija Lukac ended 6-4, 7-6(5). Stanford’s Taylor Davidson defeated Long 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4.

In the invitational draw, the Ducks had barely more success. In the round of 32, Kadie Hueffner was blanked by Berkley’s No. 2 Maegan Manasse 6-0, 6-0. Kadie’s sister, Allie Hueffner, fell 7-5, 6-4. Oregon also lost the match between Maja Salibasic and Washington’s Sophia Bott 6-2, 6-3.

The only victory for the Ducks came in the form of Åkesson, who edged out Arizona’s Inge Hendrikx 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in an extra set. Åkesson was eliminated in the round of 16 after a 6-0, 6-2 loss to USC’s  No. 3 Giuliana Olmos.

The Ducks will continue the tournament with doubles play tomorrow.
