The Ducks got off to a strong start on Saturday by securing the doubles point against UCSB. Quinn Vandecasteele and Matt Burton clinched an impressive victory over No. 34 Pablo Masjuan and Gianluca Brunkow with a score of 6-2, while David Cierny and Ray Lo contributed to the lead with a 6-4 win on court two, giving Oregon a 1-0 advantage.
