EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon women's tennis team fell to No. 9 UCLA, 6-1, on Sunday at the outdoor courts of the Student Tennis Center.

In singles, UCLA quickly clinched the match after rattling off wins on courts two and three as well as picking up a point on court six due to a UO forfeit.
Julia Eshet broke up the Bruins' scoring by claiming a point for Oregon on court four as UCLA retired Alaina Miller midway through the second set.
