The first conference individual champion in program history, Daria Panova is the first women’s tennis player to be elected to the UO Hall of Fame. She became Oregon’s all-time career leader in singles victories after posting a 94-50 record in her time at Oregon. She was a member of two NCAA Tournament teams – 2002 and 2004 – and helped the Ducks advance to the second round both years. Panova set the school’s single-season record for most singles wins in 2003 with 32. As a junior in 2004, she matched her 2003 wins mark, and also went 18-12 with doubles partner Courtney Nagle in 2003. Panova and Nagle’s 32-25 career doubles mark between 2002-04 ranks fifth in school history. Panova won the 2003 Pac-10 Tournament individual championship, a first for Oregon. That season, she advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament in singles play and to the quarterfinals in doubles with Nagle. Following the 2003 season, Panova was named the Pac-10 Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Year while also earning first-team all-Pac-10 selections in 2003 and 2004 and second team honors in 2005. The Moscow, Russia, native earned All-American honors as both a singles and doubles player in 2003 and was an All-American in singles in 2004. In addition to holding the single-season record for individual wins, Panova went 23-12 with doubles partner Dominika Dieskova in 2005 which are the third-most doubles wins in a season in Oregon tennis history.
