The Ducks posted a 4-1 win over host Portland Wednesday afternoon.
EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon beach volleyball team got its week started with a 4-1 victory over Portland. Wednesday's win was the program's 20th all-time against Portland, its most against any other opponent. The Ducks are now 6-16 heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
Â
The Ducks' first point of the day came from Hanna Bjornson and Kamilah Checani, posting a 21-6, 21-13 scoreline at No. 4 pairs. Gwen Fife and AJ Slojkowski followed with a straight-set win of their own at No. 2 pairs to close out the first wave of matches and give UO the 2-0 dual lead.
Â
At the top of the lineup, Bella Gamache and Ella Tyus dropped the opening set to Annika Stammberger and Emily Wood but rallied—17-21, 21-19, 15-10—for the clinching point. Gamache and Tyus collected their eighth win of the season, tying them for the team lead with Natasha George and Liz Rossi.
Â
The host Pilots got on the board with a sweep on at the No. 5 spot in the lineup but Landree Coats and Daley McClellan secured the final point of the afternoon with a 21-10, 21-15 triumph on court three. It was Coats' 17th-career win, good for sole possession of 14th in program history.
