DUCKS PUNCH TICKET TO NCATA FINAL
Second-seeded Oregon defeated No. 6 Limestone 268.705-262.625 Friday afternoon. The Ducks regained some form and improved upon several performances from the opening round victory. Notably, Oregon gave themselves a cushion by taking the compulsory event for the sixth time this season and posted the second-highest total of the season in the tumbling event. A number UO athletes contributed to the stellar performance in the tumbling section, including freshman Rickelle Henderson. Henderson posted a 9.850 in the six element tumbling pass and helped contribute a 9.525 in the duo tumbling portion.
