On Saturday, the Ducks lost their third-straight match while getting swept by the Cowgirls 7-0.

The No. 29 Oklahoma State team earned the doubles point, with Oregon’s Jasmine Minor and Nicole Long falling to Viktoriya Lushkova and Kanyapat Narattana of Oklahoma State 8-2.

Marlou Kluiving and Lina Akesson also dropped their doubles match 8-2.

Oregon got swept in doubles play, as well.

“We did not play poorly, Oklahoma State is just a good team,” head coach Paul Reber told GoDucks.com. “In my opinion, they will be a top 20 team this year. They came out firing and seemed to have caught us with that in the start of both doubles and singles.”

Saturday’s competition marked the first time Oregon has been swept since facing Stanford last April.

On Sunday, Oregon’s sole point in their 6-1 loss to Minnesota was due to the effort of senior Long.

Long defeated Tereza Brichacova in a tiebreaker match, 6-7, 7-5, 1-0.

In doubles play, Lana Buttner and Sofia Hager defeated Paula Rincon Otero and Aria Lambert in the No. 3 match, but that wasn’t enough to secure the doubles point as both Minor and Long, as well as Kluiving and Akesson lost their matches.

Up next for Oregon is Akron on Sunday, Feb. 22. Matches begin at 4 p.m. at the Student Tennis Center on campus.
