Volleyball Recap: Oregon vs Portland

Your Oregon Ducks took on the Portland Pilots on Wednesday night, looking to stay undefeated on the young season.

The Ducks would eventually break the tie, winning 25-21.

The second game would be more of the same, with both sides bouncing back and forth with multiple ties, eventually knotting things up at 19-19, until Oregon would once again take control, pulling away 25-20, and winning the game.

Game three would be, you guessed it, super close all the way through. UP wasn’t going down without a fight, constantly battling the Ducks, and not letting them get more than a point or two away from them. They were actually leading the game 13-10, before Oregon would tie the match at 14, 15, 16, AND 17. But the Ducks would pull ahead, leading 22-18 late in the contest. But, as mentioned, the Pilots weren’t going down easy.

The Ducks are now a perfect 4-0 on the season, with their next matchup coming up on Saturday, September 6th, against Colorado State.
