The Ducks have found success at home, for they have yet to take a loss on their home court. With an overall record of 64-39 in singles, sophomore, Ares Teixido Garcia, is amongst the top of the group, earning a 12-1 overall alone.
 
ABOUT IDAHO
The Gaels continue on to face University of Idaho later that same weekend. With leadership from a new face at head coach, Sanne Louwers has taken on the position in hopes to push the team to the top.
