On a Valentine's Sunday, the Oregon Ducks(5-2, t-3rd in Pac-12) certainly felt the love, completing a dominating sweep of the visiting Arizona Wildcats(2-5, 8th in Pac-12), 25-23, 25-13, 25-15. With a fantastic effort by the Ducks both on offense and defense, especially in the second set, Oregon was able to cruise to its fifth straight win before heading to Utah to face the top dog in the Pac-12. Brooke Nuneviller had yet another standout performance, leading the team in kills with 11, as well as digs with 12, giving her the 6th double-double of the season. But it wasn't just Nuneviller doing work for Oregon; Morgan Lewis and Gloria Mutiri both contributed 9 kills on the match, Abby Hansen had 8 blocks, quadrupling the Wildcats total as a team. Overall the team seemed very fluid and energectic throughout the game, and that showed in the second set, when the Ducks had a huge 8-0 run to really break open the floodgates.

Next up for the Ducks is their biggest challenge yet on the season, the 7-0 Utah Utes in Salt Lake City on Thursday, February 18th.
