EUGENE, Ore. — Kicking off the three-day roadtrip through the Pacific Northwest, freshman Kristina Evloeva led the Aggies in a 6-1 loss to Oregon.

The Ducks took the lead from the start, winning doubles at Nos. 2 and 3. Featuring the same pairings as the home opener against Sonoma State, the Aggies put up a fight, with Shirley Hall and Kristina Breisacher dropping a 6-4 set at No. 2, and Yana Gurevich and Jessica Walker falling 6-3 at No. 3. 

Top duo of Sara Tsukamoto and Lauren Ko held serve to get to 5-5 at the clinch.

In singles play, Oregon reeled off three wins to officially win 4-0 on courts one, three, and four. After the clinch, Evloeva outlasted her opponent to win 6-2, 6-4 for the only Aggie point on the day, and moves to a perfect 2-0 on the season.
