Oregon Volleyball went neck-and-neck with Oregon State on Friday- but that certainly was not the case today. Oregon (25-19, 25-22, 25-22) defeated OSU in straight sets in its first road match since February 7th.

Oregon led from the jump set one, winning it in dominant fashion, 25-19. Game two was neck-and-neck, but Oregon went on a 5-1 run after being tied at 20-20 to collect a 2-0 lead. It looked like we may have been going to four sets at certain points in set three, as the Ducks trailed 15-9 at one point. But Oregon rallied back to tie it at 16-16, then used a 4-0 run to win the third frame, 25-22.

Oregon hit .256 as a team and held the Beavers to a meer .148. The Ducks also dished out four service aces, which is the most since February 14th against Arizona. Brooke Nuneviller (15 kills, .200, 9 digs) led the way for Oregon throughout the match. 15 kills were the most in a sweep from the junior this season. However, she fell short of a double-double for the second time this year. Taylor Borup was also in double figures with 11 kills on .267. Oregon's setters were crisp as well - Elise Ferreira (22 assists) and Kylie Robinson (21 assists) helped Oregon win the assists battle 44-30. Georgia Murphy helped keep Oregon's defense in line with a 15 dig performance.

With the win, Oregon moves to 11-3 on the season and stays right at the top of the Pac-12 standings. Oregon has just four matches left: two at home against Cal (1-17) and two on the road against Arizona State (5-11)
