Oregon lost to No. 13 LSU Thursday morning in Huntington Beach, Calif.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – The Oregon beach volleyball team lost to 13^th-ranked LSU Thursday at the MPSF Championship on Spiker Beach in Huntington Beach, Calif. With the loss, the Ducks season ends at 17-18 overall.

LSU (22-15) won the opening set on four of five courts except for No. 3 pairs where Daley McClellan and Elsa Snipes jumped out to a 1-0 lead against Molly LaBreche and Aubrey O'Gorman, 21-19. However, the Tigers jumped out to the early 2-0 match advantage with wins on courts two and one, respectively.

The Tigers got their third point with a 21-17, 21-18 win at No. 4 pairs over the Oregon sophomore duo of Hanna Bjornson and Sofia Taylor. With the win, LSU advanced to play Grand Canyon.

When the match was clinched, McClellan and Snipes were up a set but trailed 16-12 in the second, while Landree Coats and Natasha George had just won the second set on court five to force a would-be third.

Postseason duals play to the clinching point with remaining matches left unfinished.

In its first year under head coach Kristian Kuld, Oregon set a program record for single-season wins (17), had two wins over ranked teams—No. 19 Georgia State and No. 15 FAU—and saw five pairs finish with double-digit wins.
