Including Sunday's rivalry matchup, Oregon (7-1) will play its next three matches on its home floor. The Ducks open Big Ten play next weekend against Illinois and Indiana.

Oregon started its week with road sweep at Portland State (Sept. 18), its 11^th-consecutive victory against the Vikings and 14^th in the past 15 meetings. In the middle, Onye Ofoegbu and Colby Neal combined for 15 kills and a .636 hitting percentage. The Ducks hit .301—fourth time at .300 or higher this year—while holding Portland State to a .087 mark.

Ofoegbu had five blocks while Daley McClellan and Cristin Cline picked up 11 and nine digs, respectively.

Through its first eight matches, Oregon ranks among the top 30 nationally in blocks per set (2.91/13^th), hitting percentage (.285/16^th) and opponent hitting percentage (.148/26^th). Individually, Ofoegbu ranks ninth in the NCAA with her .478 hitting percentage and Cline is 13^th among the nation's setters at 10.85 assists per set.

Junior outside hitting Mimi Colyer, eighth in the Big Ten at 4.39 points per set, was named to the AVCA Player of the Year Watch List earlier this week. The Lincoln, Calif., native has a season high of 19 kills at Colorado State (Sept. 6) while hitting .425 in the four-set win. In a double-double performance against No. 17 BYU, Colyer also registered a season-high five aces.
