01/22/26 | Women's Beach Volleyball
Senior Day is scheduled for March 20 against Portland.
EUGENE, Ore. — As part of its 2026 schedule, the Oregon beach volleyball team will play 10 matches against NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago including national semifinalists Cal Poly and UCLA. The Ducks' season begins Feb. 20-21 at the Green Wave Invitational in New Orleans, La.
This year is the program's first under head coach Kristian Kuld who came to Eugene after 11 seasons at Long Beach State.
The Ducks return three players—Bella Gamache, Natasha George and Liz Rossi—that had 10 wins last season. Gamache played at No. 1 pairs all last season while George and Rossi played together, primarily at the No. 4 and 5 spots in the lineup. George carries 33 career wins into the season, good for fourth on the program's all-time list. Daley McClellan (24) also ranks among the UO career top-10 wins list.
Oregon will play two home matches in 2026, a Senior Day doubleheader against Portland on March 20. Match times are scheduled for 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Grace Community Fellowship Courts in Eugene. The teams will then play again two days later in Portland.
The Ducks' matches against last year's tournament teams will be Boise State (twice), Cal Poly, Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, LSU, Stanford, Texas, UCLA and USC. Four of those will come during the MPSF Mid-Season Rumble (March 6-7) in Los Angeles.
The 2026 campaign also features four first-time opponents for Oregon, a list that includes Chaminade, Florida Atlantic, Spring Hill College (Ala.) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
The postseason begins April 22-24 with the MPSF Championship at Spiker Beach in Huntington Beach, Calif. The league grew from seven to 10 teams with the additions of LSU, San Jose State and Texas.
