After winning the doubles point Oregon stayed strong throughout singles to a 7-0 finish. Robin Cambier (6-1, 6-2), Jason Amos (6-1, 6-1), and Daniel Sardu (6-1, 6-0) all won their singles matches convincingly. Cambier was playing in the No. 1 singles on Friday night; the first time he has played in that slot this season.

Joey Swaysland was locked in a battle with Fresno State’s Erick Komati that had to be decided in a best-of-10 super tie-breaker. Swaysland would win a lead early and stay ahead to win the set and the match.

“It was a good match. I lost the first set but I thought I played well in the second (set). I lifted my level a little bit and was able to put a lot more pressure on him,” Swaysland said. “In the super-tie breaker I was able to have that momentum and keep playing aggressive.”

The Ducks maintained the momentum they picked up in Durham, N.C. when they beat then ranked No. 50 San Diego St. and played well against No. 17 Duke. But Swaysland said that with or without momentum their focus is day-to-day.

“We just try to take one match at a time,” Swaysland said. ”Never look to far forward or too far back.”.

Freshman Jason Amos is now 5-1 in the No. 6 singles and 4-1 in No. 3 doubles. with partner Daniel Sardu.

“Jason has been playing really consistent,” Oregon head coach Nils Schyllander said. “He has been serving really well the whole season, which has really helped him… You get confident from winning so I think he really believes in himself right now.”

Senior Robin Cambier inched closer to Oregon’s all-time singles wins record (84, Sven Swinnen) after his 6-1, 6-2 victory. Cambier now has 81 career wins and can break the record at home against UNLV on Feb. 23.

The Ducks will host the Bulldogs again Sunday Feb. 2 at 11 a.m. at the Student Tennis Center.
