The doubles tandem of Jo-Yee Chan and Ares Teixido Garcia remained perfect this season and extended their unbeaten streak to eight straight, playing primarily at the No. 2 position. The Ducks’ top pair of Sophie Luescher and Uxia Martinez Moral are 5-3 this spring, but saw their four-match winning streak end at UCSB.
On the singles side, Chan and Martinez Moral are both riding six-match winning streaks after straight-set wins last Sunday. Martinez Moral is 5-0 at the fourth position while Chan, a freshman, is 5-0 at the fifth spot.
Martinez Moral is a team-best 8-1 overall this spring while Teixido Garcia is 7-3.
