On her feelings about the season so far…
"The season has been challenging so far but also prepared us for conference matches. In addition, the win from Oregon results from the hard work and fight we put in from every practice and match."
Â
FIRST WIN OVER ITA TOP 40 PROGRAM SINCE 2016
The then-No. 65-ranked Fresno State women's tennis team earned a 4-3 road win over the No. 38-ranked Oregon Ducks in February.
Â
Fresno State built a 1-0 lead by securing the doubles point with 6-2 wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 position.
Â
The Bulldogs then needed a complete team effort, which was highlighted by singles victories by Fresno State veterans Pang Jittakoat (No. 1), Cristina Flaquer (No. 3) and Carlotta Nonnis Marzano (No. 6). Flaquer clinched the match with a three-set win at the No. 3 slot.
Â
This was Fresno State's first win over an ITA Top 40 opponent since 2016.
