Oregon Volleyball Unable to Upset No. 6 Stanford

Oregon hosted the No. 6 ranked Stanford Cardinal Thursday night at Matthew Knight Arena. After a very slow start for Oregon hitting in negative percentage Stanford would be sure to put the match out of reach in the fourth set winning 25-15 avoiding the upset. With just five games left in their regular season the Ducks will host California Friday night before they travel to Utah next week. -Alexandria King
