SEATTLE – Oregon Beach Volleyball's Bella Gamache and Elsa Snipes became the first pair in program history to secure a bid to the AVCA National Pairs Championship later this fall, after placing third in the Championship Division at the Alki AVCA Qualifier over the weekend.
Gamache and Snipes advanced through pool play into bracket play where they earned the bid with a victory in the third-place match against Washington's Emma Hohenauer and Shayla Martinez.
The AVCA National Pairs Championship features 64 of the nation's top collegiate pairs from Division I and Division II programs taking place Nov. 6-8 in Huntsville, Ala.
The Ducks will host Portland in an exhibition match on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m. in the first-ever event at Duck Dunes, Oregon's new home facility on campus. The match will be free for fans to attend.
