SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Oregon men's tennis team began its weekend in San Diego with a 5-2 win over Loyola Marymount. With their latest triumph, the Ducks push their winning streak to six and improve to 9-2 overall. Oregon won the doubles point for the eighth time in 11 matches and followed with wins in four of six singles matches.
How It Happened: The Ducks picked up wins at No. 1 and 3 doubles to take the early 1-0 advantage over Loyola Marymount (3-3). At the top spot, the 11th-ranked Ty Gentry and Joshua Charlton registered a 7-6 win for the duo's 14th win of the season. Gentry and Charlton are now 7-1 in dual play. Riki Oshima and Jesper Klöv-Nilsson (5-2) were also winners on court three.
With the doubles point in hand, Oregon went on to secure wins at No. 1, 4, 5 and 6 singles on its way to the team victory.
