02/08/19 | Men's Tennis
EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon men's tennis team continued its home stand Friday afternoon with a 4-0 win over Boise State. With the victory, the Ducks move to 7-1 overall and remain undefeated in home matches.
Up Next: Oregon is back at the Student Tennis Center on Saturday to host Louisville. First serve is set for 2 p.m. (PT). The Ducks will close out their six-match home stand Feb. 17 against Loyola Marymount.
Oregon eased through the doubles point, claiming wins on courts one and three to take the 1-0 match lead. The No. 42-ranked duo of Charles Roberts and Armando Soemarno got things started with a 6-2 win over Jack Heslin and Luka Soskic. With the Ducks up 5-1 on both courts two and three, it was the team of Emmanuel Coste and Thomas Laurent to secure the doubles point.
In singles play, Laurent and Riki Oshima—at the No. 4 spot—posted identical 6-0, 6-2 wins to bump the Ducks' advantage to 3-0 over Boise State (3-2). With his performance, Laurent notched the 89th victory of his career which is just four shy of tying the program's all-time mark held by Jayson Amos (2013-17).
Junior Ty Gentry pushed his winning streak to eight matches with his clinching 6-4, 6-2 triumph at the No. 3 spot over Max Blancaneaux. He clinched an Oregon win for the second match in a row. Gentry also remains undefeated (5-0) in dual play this season.
